Grassy Narrows Case in Court

The Ontario Superior Court in Toronto will start hearing evidence today in the Grassy Narrows First Nation's fight against logging.

The northwestern Ontario First Nation is challenging the province's right to give industrial logging the green light when Grassy Narrows says the logging interferes with its treaty rights.

AbitibiBowater pulled out of the Whiskey Jack Forest north of Kenora last year, saying it couldn't wait for the province and the First Nation to agree on logging practices.
