Grassy Narrows Logging

The Grassy Narrows First Nation's fight against logging on traditional lands is expected to be heard today in an Ontario court.

The aboriginal group from northwestern Ontario ischallenging the province's right to permit industrial logging, which the First Nation says violates its treaty rights.

Joseph Fobister , a spokesman for the group, says the First Nation has been asking the province for years to stop the logging on their traditional lands.

The case was supposed to start yesterday, but was put offbecause one of the government lawyers got the flu.
