Haida set up logging blockades in B.C.

Canadian Press

PORT CLEMENTS, B.C. —

The Haida Nation has set up a number of blockades around the Queen Charlotte Islands to protest the transfer of Weyerhaeuser's tree-farm licence to Brascan, complaining they weren't properly consulted by the B.C. government.

Protesters blocked roads to logging camps, tied up barge traffic and forced the shut down of the Ministry of Forests office in Queen Charlotte City, Port Clements Mayor Dale Lore said Wednesday. <snip>
