The Grassy Narrows First Nations says its still waiting to hear from the provincial government about its demand not to issue any more logging permits for the Whiskey Jack Forest. A number of human rights, environmental and labor groups wrote a letter back in June, but say they still haven't heard back from Premier Kathleen Wynne. There has been a blockade at Grassy preventing any new logging activity for the past 10 years, but the community is looking for a commitment from the province to respect their wishes.
