BELLEVILLE, Ont. – A First Nations protest continued Tuesday on a rural road east of Belleville, Ont., with a section of the route shut down for a second straight day.
The demonstrators moved onto Shannonville Road on Sunday night, and Napanee OPP closed the road (between Old Highway Two and Airport Parkway) on Monday for safety reasons.

A small group of protesters remained at the scene overnight, and police continue to monitor the situation.
