Rod LeClair, a spokesman for the OPP’s Haldimand County detachment, said Thursday. “Our role is to maintain public safety for everyone involved including demonstrators, police and any member of the public.”He said the OPP is required to assist in the enforcement of court orders, including two injunctions in effect for the McKenzie Rd. One injunction prohibits anyone from being on the property and another prohibits anyone from establishing a blockade in the county. The OPP is “engaged in significant, collaborative, and respectful dialogue aimed at bringing about a peaceful resolution, while ensuring everyone’s safety and preserving their respective rights,” LeClair said.
