Vancouver Police are advising drivers to avoid the area, as drivers are not able to get through while Wet’suwet’en supports line all four sides of the intersection.

The demonstration is the latest in a series of actions across the country supporting Wet’suwet’en land defenders as the RCMP removes them from a pipeline construction route in northern BC.
Earlier today, supporters blocked all entrances to the BC Legislature ahead of today’s Throne Speech.
