MMIWG protestors blocking Ethan Boyer Way were on edge Saturday - one day after the City of Winnipeg delivered an injunction ordering them to clear the roadway.
Melissa Morrisseau has been at the site since the blockade first went up more than a week ago, protesting the province's decision not to support a search of Prairie Green Landfill north of the city.
"If I have to stand there, to get arrested, to make a change, or to bring any kind of awareness for the betterment of our people, of our MMIWG, then I will," said Morrisseau.
That's where the remains of Marcedes Myron and Morgan Harris are believed to have been dumped by alleged serial killer Jeremy Skibicki.
The group's ability to get to the blockade has been hampered. On Saturday, construction crews were paving the road leading to the protest site, blocking the main entrance and slowing traffic to the other landfill entrance.
"The timing of this couldn’t have been worse," said ward councillor Markus Chambers in a statement. "Between the protests currently occurring and rerouting of large garbage trucks down freshly asphalted roads, how long will it take before this section of roadway will be required to be redone?"
