Railway issues injunction after traditional Anishinaabe water ceremony held near tracks
An environmental activist from Grassy Narrows First Nation in northwestern Ontario is heading to court Thursday in hopes of lifting a CN injunction she fears will prevent her from future attempts to protect lakes and rivers from contamination.
CN served Judy DaSilva with a court injunction on April 10 after she held a traditional Anishinaabe water ceremony near the tracks running through Grassy Narrows.
A news release from the Grassy Narrows youth group earlier that week said “a rail blockade” and water ceremony was to take place on the tracks. But plans changed after DaSilva said she began receiving calls from CN officials.
