Highway 17 Blockade Ends


Traffic is flowing again on the Trans-Canada highway near the Manitoba/Ontario border.

Shoal Lake #39 and #40 First Nations held a blockade as part of the Idle no more Movement.

Darrell Redsky was part of the protest and says they are reminding the government about the power of the treaty.

Redsky adds the protest was in part of a national day of action.

Traffic was completely blocked off from 1:00 until 2:00 when police allowed single lane traffic flow.
