Protesters Converge at MPP's Office
- About 200 people protested Thursday evening outside MPP Kevin Holland's Thunder Bay office, urging repeal of Bill 5, which expedites development projects.

- Speakers included Indigenous leaders and activists who highlighted concerns such as overriding treaty rights, weakening environmental protections, and that economic benefits often bypass local communities.

- The protest reflects broader opposition to Bill 5, with critics calling for its withdrawal due to potential long-term harm to Indigenous rights, the environment, and regional communities.
