Around 3:30 pm today, SRD officers arrived with a Court Order directing us to cease and desist our actions.
RCMP Inspector McGeough was also on site and, using his discretion, gave us until Wednesday morning at 8 am to discuss the matter with our lawyer. After that time, the RCMP will begin enforcing the order.
We have contacted our lawyer, and will consult with him tomorrow.
The logging operation is not to be started tomorrow, but some protestors do plan to be there to continue to make passersby aware of the situation.

There is a good article related to the situation by Andrew Nikiforuk here:
