OPP to Monitor Idle No More Blockades

Expect some traffic delays this afternoon on Highway 17 west of
Kenora.

The Shoal Lake #39 and #40 First Nations are planning a blockade of
commercial truck traffic near the Ontario/Manitoba Border.

OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis says officers will be standing by to ensure
the protests remain peaceful.

Today's protest is scheduled to take place from 1:00 to 4:00.

A similar protest is being planned for Highway 11/17 near Nipigon today.
