VICTORIA -- A Vancouver Island First Nation is telling the Capital Regional District board to stay out of the debate over logging in the contested Fairy Creek area near Port Renfrew. The Pacheedaht First Nation sent a notice Monday to the CRD board, urging the CRD directors to "show an appropriate level of respect to the sovereignty and wishes of our nation" and "respect our desire for self-determination." The message was sent in response to a motion before Wednesday’s CRD board meeting, which recommends the board adopt a resolution to work with the Pacheedaht and the province to defer logging in old-growth forests on southern Vancouver Island.
