Aamjiwnaang Restricts St. Clair Shore Fishing To Members Only

Aamjiwnaang First Nation has served notice that fishing along the St. Clair River through its territory is being limited to its members only.

The chief and council issued the order in response to concerns about littering, vehicles driving up and down the riverbank causing damage, and overcrowding on the docks.

No trespassing signs have been posted now under Section 30 of the Indian Act, the Ministry of Natural Resources has been asked to monitor fish licensing, and Band security personnel will patrol the area during peak fishing seasons.
