ENBRIDGE NOISE DEMO – VANCOUVER B.C.
No Consent? No Pipelines! No Tar Sands! No Climate Crimes!
Monday January 14th @ 5:00 pm
Victory Square, Cambie & Hastings Street
Vancouver, Unceded Coast Salish Territories
* This event is in solidarity with IDLE NO MORE & frontline Indigenous communities. Bring drums and wear regalia.
* Noise demo: bring pots and pans (to bang), whistles, horns and such! (and ear plugs, it’s going to get loud!)
* This is a child and family friendly event.
When the pipeline Joint Review Panel comes to Vancouver on January 14th it is our time to voice our opposition. It is our moment to say NO to this crazy climate crime of a pipeline and to expose the Review Panel for what it truly is – a sham, a corporate smokescreen, seeking input while reserving the right to approve the project regardless and removing the right of communities to say no.

Another hearing will take place Thursday, January 3 at 2:30 in Bellingham Municipal Court 2014 C Street at Girard.
Please come and support these folks who sat down to stand up for free speech.
It was an incredible and frightening demonstration of military power by our local police force facing off to a handful of PEACEFUL protesters.
There have been many letters asking for a dismissal of this case.
