OPP Will Remain at Protest Site

OPP say they have no immediate plans to end a toll booth set up on Couchiching First Nation.
The band has been asking for a $1 fee from motorists entering and leaving the community in protest over grievances with both the provincial and federal governments.
Police have issued notices to those manning the toll to “discontinue their interference with traffic” but OPP Inspector John Kendrick says no arrests have been made.
Police say protesters have been peaceful and no major problems have occurred.
CKDR listeners report that traffic is moving smoothly on Highway 11 and protesters have been quite polite to motorists.
OPP remain on scene.
