Four people were arrested as RCMP enforced an injunction at an old-growth logging protest near Lake Cowichan, over two months after it was granted. On Sept. 12, a judge granted an injunction to Tsawak-qin Forestry, which is co-owned by Western Forest Products and the Huu-ay-aht First Nations, to end the blockade which had been in place since late August. …The RCMP says the injunction prevents anyone from interfering in any way people from gaining access to or egress from the site within the Carmanah Valley area on Vancouver Island near Lake Cowichan. …RCMP says three were arrested for breaching the injunction and one person was arrested for criminal mischief. …The protesters say there were approximately 60 officers on site. Tsawak-qin Forestry said the approach it is taking to logging in the area follows the Pacheedaht First Nation and the Province of British Columbia’s “shared objective” for the area.
