Thousands of truckers and others opposed to cross-border vaccine mandates and other public health restrictions have rolled into Ottawa on Saturday for a rally on Parliament Hill.

Axar.az reports that for the past week, several teams of truckers and supporters across the country have been making their way to the nation's capital as part of the "freedom convoy," raising more than $8.1 million from more than 102,000 donations on GoFundMe along the way, as of Saturday afternoon. Some convoy participants have already been in the city since Friday, lining the streets and waving flags in front of the Hill.

More trucks arrived in Ottawa throughout the morning, with hundreds of vehicles from the western route of the convoy staying overnight at a large truck stop in Arnprior, Ont., just west of Ottawa.

The rally has been peaceful, with no reports of arrests.

Police previously said they do not have a confirmed number of demonstrators, but were preparing for a few thousand attendees. The Parliamentary Protective Service anticipated up to 10,000 demonstrators.

Blockades have been set up at various points in the city. As a result, many people will have to park elsewhere and walk to Parliament Hill.
