HALIFAX, NS: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announces that the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia has struck down the province’s sweeping 2025 ban on entering the woods, ruling that the government acted unreasonably and failed to consider the Charter rights and values affected by the ban.
The decision follows a constitutional challenge brought by lawyers funded by the Justice Centre on behalf of Canadian Armed Forces veteran Jeffrey Evely, who was fined $28,872.50 for walking in the woods under the province’s blanket prohibition.
