Fumes from anti-vaccine mandate protesters' trucks and smoke from their barbecues and campfires is damaging air quality in downtown Ottawa.
Local resident Bonnie Charette said she wears a mask outside downtown — partly as a COVID-19 precaution and partly because of what she calls the "stench" in the air.
"The smell is disgusting," she said.
Abby Donald, who lives in an area where trucks line the streets, agrees.
"I hate breathing it in," she said. "I walk into my apartment and I smell like it."
