YORKTON - Protesters gathered in Yorkton's City Centre park on Saturday afternoon in support of the Freedom Convoy 2022.

"I think [the Freedom Convoy] is the greatest thing to happen to Canada in a long while," said Leonard Slogotski, the event organizer.

About 20 people showed up to voice their support for the protests taking place in Ottawa.

"Quite a few people have gone to Regina, to the Legislature building," said Slogotski.

Protestors gathered in the province's capital as well to show support for Freedom Convoy 2022.

When asked about the turnout in Yorkton, Slogotski said he was "Very happy, because sometimes I'm here, but nobody else is."

Slogotski said he's been in the park every Saturday between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm since the summer, protesting mandates and restrictions.

Previous to these weekly protests he'd taken part in the Yellow Vest movement.

Slogotski said he feels the Freedom Convoy is building up the spirits of Canadians.

"They're saying things like they're proud to be a Canadian- which they weren't for a while."
