VICTORIA—The RCMP are reviewing the department’s resources following the temporary reinstatement of an injunction against old−growth logging protests on southern Vancouver Island by the British Columbia Court of Appeal.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge refused to renew an injunction last month against protesters in the Fairy Creek area north of Port Renfrew, but Justice Sunni Stromberg-Stein granted a stay on Friday until forestry firm Teal Cedar Products Ltd. can argue at a full appeal of the lower-court ruling next month.
