The City of Windsor is suing the federal government for roughly $900,000 in costs stemming from the 2022 Ambassador Bridge blockade.

Protesters angry about COVID-19 mandates cut off access to the busiest border crossing in North America .

The week -long blockade prompted a nearly $7-million response from the city, most of which went to policing and legal fees.

The lawsuit seeks full reimbursement of all costs the city incurred responding to the blockade.
