A judge has extended a temporary injunction aimed at preventing old-growth logging protesters from blocking roads in the Walbran Valley. Tsawak-qin Forestry Limited Partnership was granted a one-year injunction last year that was set to expire on Sept. 13. …Justice William Veenstra extended the injunction until Jan. 31, 2028, but declined to grant what would have essentially been an indefinite extension. Bill Jones, a Pacheedaht First Nation elder who opposed the extension request, was disappointed in the decision to grant an extension but appreciated that it was not made indefinite, his lawyer, Ben Isitt, said….The Pacheedaht First Nation issued a statement last year asking protesters to leave its territory in the Walbran Valley area, saying the blockade undermines the nation’s authority to govern its territory.
