LA LOCHE, Sask. – A group who say they represent northern trappers have set up a road block in northern Saskatchewan. The Northern Trappers Alliance says it represents Dene people from the La Loche and Ducharme areas.
Organizer Don Montgrand says the blockade of the gravel road began Saturday and will block vehicles from companies that are drilling for minerals, oil or uranium. He says the peaceful blockade is to protect their fur block, one of 80 in the north.
