Yet another blockade has gone up on the Grassy Narrows First Nation north of Kenora. This time the blockade is aimed at the Ministry of Natural Resources. Roberta Keesick is one of the people at the blockade and says it was started up on Friday after MNR officials tried to shut down repair work being done by community members on the Slant Lake Road. Keesick says the MNR wants the community to get proper permits before its begins any roadwork in the community. She says there are no plans to take down the blockade any time soon.
