Police say a group of about 30 people were protesting at a fishing wharf in southwestern Nova Scotia when a fight broke out and two men were arrested.
RCMP arrested and later released two men for alleged assaults on Saturday after police responded to what they described as “an assembly” at a fishing wharf in southwestern Nova Scotia.
RCMP spokesman Const. Guillaume Tremblay said police couldn’t provide further details on the reason for the gathering of about 30 people, or whether there were conflicts between Indigenous and non-Indigenous fishers during the afternoon protest. Investigators say while the officers were at Saturday’s gathering they saw a 34-year-old Digby County man assaulting another man, after being pushed.
Tensions have been mounting this summer in southern Nova Scotia over unauthorized lobster fishing, and the province’s fisheries minister has said he intends to increase the maximum fine to $1 million for commercial buyers who are caught selling out-of-season lobster.
