First Nations convoy targeting N.S. elver rivers to protest DFO as lawlessness returns to fishery – PNI Atlantic News
Apr 03, 2025
A convoy of dozens of vehicles has been showing up at rivers along the Eastern and South shores, where its occupants have fished elvers en masse without licences.
Commercial elver licence holders and sources within DFO have said the fishers originate from the Sipekne’katik First Nation.
Neither Chief Michelle Glasgow nor councillor Gerry Augustine, whose portfolio includes band fisheries, returned The Chronicle Herald’s requests for comment.
The convoy appears to be targeting rivers assigned to commercial licence holders, including the Fitzroy River in Hubbards, the Medway River near Liverpool and the Meteghan River in Southwest Nova Scotia.
