Group says event is part of a ‘larger struggle to empower the Wet’suwet’en Nation’ against imminent drilling for the pipeline under a river.

The group walked across the Cambie Bridge from city hall and a news advisory says they planned to rally in front of the CBC Vancouver building.

The advisory says the event is part of a “larger struggle to empower the Wet’suwet’en Nation” against imminent drilling for the pipeline under a river, and to connect Indigenous communities grappling with the effects of climate change. The hereditary chiefs say they have not given free, prior and informed consent for the 670-kilometre Coastal GasLink pipeline to be built on their unceded territory.

They have opposed the pipeline for years, while 20 elected First Nations band councils along the route have signed off on the project. The pipeline would transport natural gas from Dawson Creek in northeastern B.C. to Kitimat on the province’s north coast.Get unlimited, ad-lite access to the Vancouver Sun, the Province, National Post and 13 other Canadian news sites for just $14/month or $140/year.
