After the meeting, the Sheshatshiu Innu First Nation Band Council established checkpoints at the two road entrances to the community and established checkpoints that will be monitored by Sheshatshiu’s Community Security Officers (CSOs).
Community members in Sheshatshiu aren’t satisfied with the RCMP’s handling of drug-related crimes.
For the protest, community members went door to door, asking people they say are dealing drugs to leave the community, she explained.
“Everybody’s affected.”Florence Milley (centre) attended Monday evening’s community meeting on drug use and trafficking in Sheshatshiu.
Cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, speed, and crack are all circulating in Sheshatshiu, Milley said.
