According to Sgt. Chris Manseau, a media relations officer with the RCMP, a group numbering between 50 and 100 people arrived at the McClure Forest Service Road checkpoint and asked police for permission to perform a ceremony at a location beyond the temporary access control area. They promised that they would return, they were allowed to proceed. After the ceremony the group stopped at the checkpoint and refused to leave, blocking traffic in both directions. The court-ordered injunction was read to the group and they were provided with an opportunity to leave peacefully or face arrest. About 14 individuals were subsequently arrested. They were transported to the Lake Cowichan RCMP Detachment for processing.

Fairy Creek blockade: No arrests Sunday, fewer than previously reported on Saturday, police say

  VANCOUVER Police on Vancouver Island say no additional arrests were made in the Fairy Creek Watershed on Sunday, as officers took a day off from enforcing a court-ordered injunction against protesters in the area. Mounties said in a news release Saturday night that eight people had been arrested at two locations in the old-growth forest for breaching the injunction. Six of the arrests were made at an encampment near Port Renfrew, while the other two were made along the remote McClure Forest Service Road west of Lake Cowichan later in the day. After the initial arrests, police said, a group formed around midday and blocked traffic along the road.
