The grounds of the Manitoba Legislative Building were covered in a smokey haze on Sunday afternoon.
Pro-marijuana activists gathered to celebrate cannabis culture and call for the legalization of marijuana during the annual 4/20 event.
They say if the legislation of the drug in Colorado and Washington state is working well, then there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work in Canada.
Winnipeg police maintained a presence to ensure the event remained peaceful, but did not make any arrests or hand out tickets.
