LETHBRIDGE, Alta. – Calgary pastor Artur Pawlowski has been sentenced to 60 days jail for his role in protests against COVID-19 public health measures that blocked Alberta’s main Canada-U.S. border crossing for more than two weeks in early 2022.

But a judge in Lethbridge, Alta., gave him 60 days credit for time already served.

In May, Pawlowski was found guilty of mischief and breaching a release order.

More coming.
