Idle No More Movement Heads East

The Idle No More movement is holding a rally today East of Thunder Bay. First Nations residents are expected to start gathering at noon at the band office in Red Rock with a march scheduled for 1 o'clock across the bridge to the Highway 11-17 junction. The rally is in support of treaty rights they feel are being infringed upon by the government. Provincial police are warning motorists that traffic on the Nipigon bridge may be slowed during this event which runs until 3:30 this afternoon.
