MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS The remaining tents at the Sacred Fire camp on the east side of the Manitoba Legislative building sounds. The people at the two peace camps that have been on the grounds of the Manitoba Legislative building were confronted by Provincial Security officers around 7 a.m. Wednesday morning. The officers had bulldozers with them and they dismantled structures on both camps only stopping when occupiers were forced to throw themselves in front of the heavy machinery. One of the camps which has had a sacred fire burning for almost a year on the east side of the building had several of their tents destroyed including their kitchen which held donated foods for the fire keepers. The other camp in Memorial Park, which has been around since September, but grew larger during the convoy protest had a few structures bulldozed and removed.
