CANADAHALIFAX news First Nation in N.S. vows to keep fishing despite arrest for ‘unauthorized fishery’ by admin 20 أغسطس، 2021 written by admin 20 أغسطس، 2021 52 Chief Mike Sack said members of the Sipekne’katik First Nation will fish until the end of the year as planned HALIFAXtoday \ Canadian Press SAULNIERVILLE, N.S. — The chief of a First Nation in Nova Scotia says his band will continue fishing for lobster outside the federally regulated season, days after he was arrested by Fisheries Department officers. Chief Mike Sack said today in an interview members of the Sipekne’katik First Nation will fish until the end of the year as planned, despite the fact federal officers continue to haul his community’s traps from the water. Sack was arrested and questioned by fisheries officers earlier this week after he announced that band members would start fishing months ahead of the opening of the federally regulated season. He says he wasn’t charged but was taken in for being “party to the offence of (an) unauthorized fishery.” Sack says he hopes his band can operate its own fishery without being subject to enforcement operations by the federal government. Sipekne’katik First Nation argues that a 1999 Supreme Court of Canada decision affirming its members’ treaty right to fish allows them to harvest lobster year-round.
