Toll Booth Removed

Members of the Couchiching First Nations have brought down a toll booth on Highway 11.

Band members removed the booth last night at about 9 o'clock.

They opened it May 21st, charging one-dollar per vehicle to raise awareness about a highway land claim.

The band also called for funds to relocate six families living on what the band claims is contaminated soil from a former sawmill.

A band spokesperson says the reason for the removal of the toll booth will be explained in a statement later today.
