A letter from police delivered to the protest organizers this afternoon says all protest-related vehicles, trailers and tractors in the area of Broadway and Memorial Boulevard must leave by 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Caleb Brown, a protest co-organizer with the self-proclaimed Winnipeg Freedom Convoy, confirmed with CBC News that organizers have received the letter and are discussing their next course of action.
The letter warns people that if they choose not to comply, they face the possibility of arrest and criminal charges such as mischief and intimidation, the release says
The letter also says vehicles could be seized and turned over to the Crown.
Winnipeg police have said they will use the authority under the federal Emergencies Act to seize equipment and freeze the assets of protesters.
