Saskatchewan blockade to continue

Page 3

Dozens of Native people are continuing to blockade a road into a northern Saskatchewan logging area in a protest over forestry methods and community control

of timber harvests.

Residents of three communities were close to reaching a deal with Meadow Lake Tribal Council, shareholders in the company at the centre of the dispute. But talks broke down at the last moment, leaving the barricades in place and logging activity apparently at a standstill.
