Caledonia demonstrators move blockade

Demonstrators in Caledonia have moved their blockade.

It was initially set up on Argyle Street South back on August 10.

But Monday afternoon demonstrators moved over to the Highway 6 bypass near 6^th Line.

The protest began over a property dispute. The Haudenosaunee people claim they own the Burtch Lands in Brant County and the province shouldn’t have transferred the title to a corporation controlled by the elected council of Six Nations.

Highway 6 is now closed between Argyle Street North and Greens Road, and 6^th Line between Argyle Street South and Oneida Road.

OPP have set up a detour for Highway 6.

Argyle Street South has reopened to traffic.
