MNR has ammended it’s plan for the proposed CANTON BLOCK 60;  they have removed the Southern section of the proposed block resulting in a harvest area of 3.5 square kilometers.  This alteration is 43% reduction to the former harvest block.   Unfortunately, they have not moved it further away from Spirit Rock - that section of the block remains.  

Why they have altered the plan in this way is unknown at this time.  FOT will be looking to provide more info on this through its involvement on the Temagami LCC.

Fortunately for us, this block is not scheduled to be harvested until the second half of the ten year plan; 2014-2019, so this gives us some time to work this harvest area out of the plan.  

FOT thinks it is absolutely vital that we at least negotiate so that cutting does not occur near such a spiritually significant area.
