Renewed Commitment Reached

The Grassy Narrows First Nation and Environmental group Earthroots are applauding a renewed commitment by Domtar to steer clear of the First Nation‘s traditional territory.
Domtar spokesperson Keith Ley says they do not procure wood from the Grassy Narrows traditional territory, nor do they intend to procure wood until all outstanding issues are resolved.
Domtar is the third major forest products company in the region to commit not to source wood from Grassy Narrows traditional land.
However, Earthroots says the Company continues to press for access to wood regardless of the outcome of ongoing negotiations between Grassy Narrows and the province.
