A 39-year-old woman was arrested Monday morning during a demonstration near the Lemay Forest in Winnipeg.
Winnipeg police officers were in the area around Rue Landry and Avenue De La Digue at around 10 a.m. to maintain peace amid tensions between demonstrators and workers authorized to be on the property.
Police say the woman was taken into custody after allegedly entering private property and interfering with employees on site.
She is facing charges of contempt of court and mischief interfering with the enjoyment of property. She was released to appear in court.
Premier Wab Kinew announced Monday that the province will be expropriating the land at Lemay Forest to turn it into a provincial park.
