Watch for climate protesters at Lougheed Highway and Willingdon Avenue starting at 4:30 p.m. Friday.
Burnaby commuters should keep their eyes open for a climate justice protest on Lougheed Highway during the afternoon rush hour.
“The continued construction of the TMX and CGL pipeline projects is an ongoing disaster for the climate and Indigenous rights," said Climate Convergence central organizer Alison Bodine in the release. May 5 also marks Red Shirt Day, a day of awareness in Canada for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and Two-Spirit people.
"As per the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls final report, 'resource extraction projects can drive violence against Indigenous women in several ways, including issues related to transient workers, harassment and assault in the workplace, rotational shift work, substance abuse and addictions, and economic insecurity,'" Bodine said.
