Enbridge says it has served an injunction to protesters demanding they stop blockading construction on the Line 9 pipeline in the community of Innerkip, near Woodstock. A total of five members of a group protesting the reversal of Enbridge’s Line 9 pipeline were arrested Sunday, after two protesters locked themselves inside a pipeline construction site and refused to leave.
A spokesman for a protest group that calls itself Dam Line 9 Blockade said that most of the protesters have begun cleaning up the site, but one or two have locked themselves to structures in the area and do not plan to move.
Dan Kellar said the protesters have come from all over southern Ontario, and have been blockading the pipeline for six days. A protest banner hangs outside a work site for Enbridge’s Line 9 pipeline near Innerkip, Ont., on Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2014. Ontario Provincial Police would not comment on the injunction, only saying that they remain on site to maintain peace.
