VANCOUVER — Climate activists calling for an end to a gas pipeline project in northern British Columbia threw maple syrup on an Emily Carr painting and glued themselves to the wall on Saturday at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
A spokesman for the environmental group Stop Fracking Around said two activists splashed maple syrup on Carr's painting"Stumps and Sky," which is on display at the gallery.
He said the protesters are demanding an end to the Coastal Gaslink Pipeline project, currently under construction from Dawson Creek to Kitimat on B.C.'s north coast. "It's just a question of trying to get the public and especially our leaders to actually respond to the climate emergency which Canada has declared," said Marshall in an interview."That's the logic behind it."
