Three Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw women water protectors who were occupying the entrance to a natural gas storage facilities site are expected to appear in court in Halifax Apr. 17 after they were arrested and taken into custody Wednesday for defying a temporary court injunction.
Madonna Bernard, Darlene Gilbert and Paula Isaac gave themselves up to the RCMP officers who arrived at the Alton Natural Gas Storage Project site near Stewiake, N.S.
Poulette and Greenland-Smith are also back in court on Apr. 17 for motions regarding Alton’s application for a permanent court injunction against them and the other water protectors. The hearing for the permanent injunction is scheduled for three days in August. #StopAltonGas #nspoli
