A World Ride Rally for Freedom will be held in Quesnel this Saturday on March 20,
Tamara Morneau, one of the organizers, says it will take place in Lebourdais Park at noon.
“It’s the masks, social distancing, limited gatherings that go against our normal way of life. And the impacts that it is having on people, people’s mental well being, the isolation, the solitude in it, is starting to show its impact on people.”
Morneau says they also have concerns about vaccinations.
“Right now it’s a choice, but what we’re worried about is if you do not get vaccinated. Are you going to be able to go into a grocery store, are you going to be able to go to the pharmacy, or are you going to be exiled from society because you chose not to.”

A winter event has been held in Quesnel in the month of February since 2009, but not this year.
Director of Community Services Jeff Norburn has confirmed the obvious, that there will be no Winter Carnival or Boots and Toques event, as it is now known, this year.
“Because of the COVID-10 pandemic events of more than 50 people are not permitted, so an event like the winter carnival which encourages typically hundreds, sometimes even a thousand or more people to gather in one place, can’t take place.”
The Winter Carnival, which used to take place at West Fraser Timber Park, attracted around 1800 residents at its peak in 2015.
