The mayor of Maple Creek says she hopes people in her southwestern Saskatchewan town will stay away from a rally to protest COVID-19 restrictions planned for this weekend.
Mayor Michelle McKenzie says she is aware of an expected gathering in opposition to the government s public health orders. But she hopes people in town will stay home, and notes there will be a police presence. The RCMP are going to monitor the situation from outside and they re going to be videotaping everything, so if there is any breach of the public health code there, they ll be able to get fines later, said McKenzie.

A flyer circulating on social media says the event is intended to celebrate freedom, but is mostly about “children having fun.” The flyer, which does not indicate who is planning the event, promises a fish pond, balloon animals and science experiments.

“(Saturday’s event) is organized as part of the anti-mask activities and is irresponsible and dangerous,” Mayor Charlie Clark posted on Twitter Thursday afternoon. “I expect enforcement measures to be in place and the organizers be held accountable for bringing this threat to our community.”

Cases of COVID-19 have been rising in southwest Saskatchewan after a “super-spreader” party with more than 100 attendees near Maple Creek.
According to the mayor of Maple Creek, Michelle McKenzie, at least 40 cases of COVID-19 involving the B.1.1.7 variant also known as the U.K. variant have been traced to the outdoor party over the Easter weekend.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) raised the alarm on April 14 urging people in the southwest to obey all current public health orders and measures to stop the cases from increasing in the region.
McKenzie says the party near the community has caused a lot of issues.
