A blockade has been established by members of the local Innu first-nations community in Schefferville.

On Tuesday members of the Innu were blocking a main road to Labrador Mines Holdings Ltd., New Millenium Iron Corp. and several other mining companies in a protest against the Quebec resource development plan known as Plan Nord.
