Strong Turnout at Rally Against Bill 5 in North Bay

  • About 70 people protested on North Bay's Main Street in front of MPP Vic Fedeli's office against Ontario's proposed Bill 5 in 2025.
  • The protest, organized by Nipissing First Nation, responded to Bill 5 accelerating development with limited Indigenous consultation, sparking provincewide First Nations opposition.
  • Bill 5 seeks to fast-track projects by amending environmental laws and suspending municipal regulations, while government plans 'Indigenous-led' economic zones face criticism as inadequate.
  • Chief Cathy Stevens expressed concern that Bill 5 endangers both their Treaty rights and cultural identity, emphasizing the need to address these serious impacts.
  • The controversy suggests legal challenges, potential protests, and strained Indigenous relations may follow if Bill 5 proceeds without proper engagement and consent.
