The Canadian Civil Liberties Association is being given a chance to challenge Nova Scotia s COVID-19 injunction in court.
But the challenge will not be heard until the end of this month, by which time many of the conditions leading to the injunction are supposed to have eased, according to a timetable established by provincial health officials.
The injunction was granted on May 14, the day before a large anti-mask rally was planned for the slopes of Citadel Hill.

Markel Jason Downey returns to Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Halifax Thursday(CBC)
Markel Jason Downey s fate will soon be in the hands of a jury.
Downey is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Ashley Kearse MacLean and two counts of attempted murder. Closing arguments in his trial were heard Monday in Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Halifax.
The charges relate to a violent home invasion and robbery in Cole Harbour on Nov. 30, 2014, that wounded three people, including Kearse MacLean.
Her spinal cord was severed in the shooting. She spent years in a wheelchair and died in 2018, at which time the medical examiner ruled her death a homicide.
