Hundreds gather for 'freedom protest' in downtown Kelowna

Numerous Kelowna residents took to the streets to celebrate their freedom on Saturday.

Close to 300 residents flocked downtown for a "freedom protest" just outside the Kelowna Marina. It didn't appear as though anyone at the rally was wearing a mask.

Some had signs that read "Does this make sense?" or "Freedom to control our own health." Others wore buttons stating that COVID-19 had a 99.74% survival rate.
