A convoy in Alberta made up of approximately 180 vehicles left Taber, Alberta around noon on Saturday and made its way towards Lethbridge. There, around 20 additional vehicles joined the convoy.

Global News reported that the organizer, who goes by Steve, said that this is the final convoy of the month. “Each campaign has had different themes, and we’ve had multiple themes for each and every one,” he said.

Steve is a small business owner, and wanted to raise awareness about the importance of shopping at small businesses, and "saving Christmas" by asking Alberta to lift its ban on private gatherings from December 24th to the 26th.

However, he was quick to distance himself from anti-maskers, saying "we've let people know that this is not an anti-mask rally, we encourage everyone to attend, because this lockdown has affected everyone."

Steve's truck was equipped with a sign that said "Shop local, it matters more than ever." Signs seen on other trucks read "lockdowns do more harm than good," and "Make Alberta Great Again."

Social distancing protocols were followed during the three convoys, which together attracted approximately 800 vehicles.
