It had been earlier indicated to us that we had ade- quately addressed the concerns relative to this particular area.” Indeed, Red Mountain Road/Hasty Creek residents are dismayed that the Ministry of Forests issued a road Permit to P ina difficult p “We believe that the idea of blocking a road appeals to no one, but that seems to be the only option left,” he said. “Most of us want to live the rest of our lives here so we have a lot at stake.” The protest supporters claim they will be maintaining a pres- ence at the site until the issues have been dealt with.
