To identify participants of a rally who recently marched into the Cornwall Centre unmasked in defiance of public health measures, Regina police posted footage and closeups of faces online.
So far, the tips have been good, says Regina Police Service Chief Evan Bray.
In one case, a woman told police it was her son-in-law who participated in the breaking of public health orders that limit the size of gatherings.
” ‘That’s my son-in-law and I don’t appreciate the fact that he’s down there,’ ” Bray recalls the woman saying.
“That’s really been a great initiative for us as well and at the end of the day, I think it sends a message to people who might want to just wander down and take a look.”
