Targets have included the Gastown steam clock, the Digital Orca sculpture, Olympic torch, Science World and CBC\u0027s offices, says the group.
The Save Old Growth group says targets have included the Gastown steam clock, artist Douglas Coupland’s Digital Orca sculpture, the Olympic torch, Science World and the CBC’s offices.
The group, which distributed a photo of the steam clock covered with slogans, says it painted the messages as a reminder of what it called the B.C. government’s “broken promises” on logging. Save Old Growth says its actions coincided with Overshoot Day, which is designed to mark the date when humanity has used up all biological resources the planet is capable of regenerating each year.
The group was previously behind road blockades but said at the end of June it would “de-escalate” such actions and instead turn to other tactics. Those protests saw dozens of people arrested and triggered major traffic disruptions in Vancouver and elsewhere.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.
