Toll Update for Thursday May 27

It looks like the toll road protest in Couchiching First Nation is finally catching the attention of government officials in Toronto and Ottawa.

Chief Chuck McPherson is in Toronto to discuss the band's concerns over contaminated land and a Highway 11 land claim - the reasons behind the toll.

He's expect to meet with officials from the department of Indian Affairs and was also planning to meet with Ontario Aboriginal Affairs Minister Chris Bentley.

Successful negotiations could close the dollar-a-vehicle toll booth that was set up last Friday by the band near the Noden Causeway.

A Facebook site that provided an avenue for residents to discuss the controversial toll booth on Couchiching First Nation has apparently been shutdown.

The site had attract more than 700 members, but some of the postings were causing concern to both to band leaders and the OPP.

Provincial police confirm they did approach the local administrator about the site, who voluntarily shut it down late Tuesday.
