Police are warning of another anti-COVID-19 measures protest coming to Halifax.
It’s the third weekend protest this month.
It’s being organized through the Nova Scotians For Freedom Facebook Group.
That’s the same group behind last week’s protest.
Police released a statement early Sunday.
Officers will be present to direct traffic, minimize disruptions and promote public safety. For full HRP statement, visit: https://t.co/ok6bzylU5u pic.twitter.com/Al6c8pvytl

The protest convoy began in Greenwood Saturday.
Protestors stopped in Yarmouth overnight.
Sunday’s route travels up the south shore to Halifax.
February 19th-21st!

Like the previous protests, it’s loosely organized, so it’s not clear exactly what the protestors’ plan is.
Social media chatter suggests there is a rally on Citadel Hill around noon.
However, a recently released route by the protestors says they’ll instead be going to Bedford.
The Houston government’s heavy fines for blocking roadways remain in effect.
The last two protests have been careful to avoid breaching those rules.
