Some 150 people in Ignace blocked traffic on Highway 17 Saturday to
protest Government inaction surrounding the loss of jobs in the community.
Councilor Diane Loubier says they were able to hand out about
500-brochures to motorists in just over an hour.
Loubier says they are anxiously waiting for some kind of response from
the McGuinty Government.
n056 runs: 20 sec. out…that meeting.
Loubier says the community is reeling with the closure of the sawmill
and proposed move of the wood haul operation to Thunder Bay.
