More than 20 Indigenous youth are blocking the entrance to the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources on Blanshard Street to deliver a message to the Minister Michelle Mungall and Premier John Horgan.
The protesters delivered a letter to Mungall that stated Indigenous youth were not only inheriting a climate crisis "driven by fossil fuel projects like [Coastal GasLink] CGL, but Canada's legacy of colonization, genocide and gendered violence against Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people." In other words, they are supporting Wet'suwet'en sovereignty and opposing RCMP actions.
