Fort Macleod councillor, 2 other ‘key participants’ charged in Coutts border blockades

New charges have been laid against protesters involved in the Coutts border blockade earlier this year, including Marco Van Huigenbos, a Fort Macleod town councillor.

Van Huigenbos, 32, who was a protest organizer, as well as Alex Van Herk, 53, and George Janzen, 43, each face a count of mischief over $5,000.

In a written release, RCMP called the three men “key participants of the Coutts border blockade,” which took place between Jan. 29 and Feb. 15.
