Last night, residents throughout the Sunshine Coast came together to show give their support and thank you to the five individuals named in the Western Forest Products injunction. That injunction to end a blockade preventing WFP from building its logging roads to cutblocks in the Chapman Creek Watershed was upheld by the BC Supreme Court and these five individuals were left with a very large legal bill. The 'Five' who were the only individuals named in the injunction graciously acknowledged the help from the coastal community and thanked the many individuals who manned the blockade with them but who were not singled out by Western Forest Products. The fund raising still continues and donations submitted to the Friends of Egmont using PayPal continue to be forwarded to the Watershed Legal Defense Fund.
