The Estevan Police Service says there won’t be any charges from the truck convoy that rolled through Estevan on Dec. 22.
A total of 427 semi-trailer units rolled through Estevan, the vast majority of them being semis. A few other vehicles participated to show support for the oil and gas sector.
The trucks travelled in Estevan on Fourth Street, Sister Roddy Road, King Street and Kensington Avenue. Heavy trucks, other than local and delivery trucks, are not permitted on Fourth Street from Souris Avenue South to 14th Avenue, as well as King Street.
Police Chief Paul Ladouceur said there wouldn’t be charges laid for not using the truck route, as “it serves no public interest in doing so.” He characterized it as a responsible and peaceful protest.
Local police officers were on Estevan roads during the convoy to assist with traffic control.
In a news release issued after the convoy, the EPS thanked the people of Estevan for their patience during the convoy.
Ladouceur also noted the EPS only received one complaint that he knows of regarding the convoy.
