A petition calling for an anti-hunting barricade to be moved from the exit of Short Hills Provincial Park will be handed over to the Niagara Regional Police Services Board this afternoon.
The Supporters of Haudenosaunee Right to Hunt say they will give the online petition with more than 1,500 signatures to the board at a meeting this afternoon.
The petition asks that a barricade of anti-hunt protesters at the site of a controversial deer hunt be moved to the side of the road, allowing hunters to leave the park.
Officials with the Indigenous rights group acknowledge the police have moved the protesters off to the side while hunters enter the park, but they say the barricade is allowed to form as they leave.
The contentious deer hunt is protected under Treaty Agreements.
