Grassy Narrows Still Searching For Answers

The Grassy Narrows First Nation says its still waiting to hear from the provincial government about its demand not to issue any more logging permits for the Whiskey Jack Forest.
A number of human rights, environmental and labour groups wrote a letter back in June, but say they still haven’t heard back from Premier Kathleen Wynne.
There has been a blockade at Grassy preventing any new logging activity for the past 10 years, and the community is looking for a committment from the province to respect their wishes.
Grassy is worried that a 10 year forest management plan for the Whiskey Jack forest did not include any meaningful recognition of aboriginal treaty rights.
