A group of small business owners in Windsor-Essex organized a protest calling for an end to COVID-19 restrictions Saturday.
The "Open Ontario" protest kicked off with close to 100 people across the street from the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit on the corner of Erie Street and Ouellette Avenue, but later grew to more than 200, according to CTV Windsor's Alana Hadadean.
Organizers say the Reopening Ontario Act continues, "to decimate small businesses, destroy the social and economic fabric of our communities and violate our Charter Rights."
