Protests planned across Saskatchewan
Protesters are holding peaceful demonstrations across the country to demand better conditions for aboriginal people.
Some of those protests are happening in Saskatchewan. A rally is being held along Highway 903, just north of Meadow Lake.
“We are using the day to create awareness about the impacts the different bills are going to have in our community,” said concerned Elder Sid Fiddler of the Waterhen Lake Cree Nation.
He said the slowdown is meant to inform the public about recent bills like C-45, which affect First Nations.
