LETHBRIDGE, Alta. – A judge has found Calgary pastor Artur Pawlowski guilty of mischief for his role in protests against COVID-19 public health measures.

The protests blocked Alberta’s main border crossing into the U.S. for about two weeks in early 2022.

Justice Gordon Krinke has also found Pawlowski guilty of breaching a release order.
