Logging
On behalf of the Seton Lake Indian Band, EAGLE successfully intervened to
stop proposed logging activity adjacent to the reserve lands at Seton Lake
in 1998. The proposed logging site was an area which the Band had previously
occupied and contained high cultural heritage concerns. The location of the
proposed logging posed significant risk of environmental damage. Working
with the law firm of Mandell Pinder, EAGLE gathered traditional use evidence
to bring an injunction application. When this information was shared with
the Ministry of Forests, the road and logging permits were rescinded and the
logging was permanently halted. Today, the area still remains protected.
