Toll Booth Planned

Couchiching First Nation is planning to set up a toll both on Highway 11 near the Noden Causeway next month.

Band officials say its over the lack of response to a number of issues they've been long trying to resolve with both the provincial and federal governments.

It includes compensation for land used to build the highway and the contamination of soil at a former sawmill.

The toll is set to go in place May 21.

The band says is also plan to beginning charging launch fees at Five Mile Dock.
