A protest slowed traffic in Steinbach Friday afternoon.
Canadian and American flags along with signs demanding the end of mandates were held high by Steinbach's clock tower as some decorated vehicles honked in support.
The protest began just hours after Premier Stefanson and Dr. Brent Roussin announced the provinces move away from vaccine passport and mask mandates in March.
