Shut Down Imperial: Rally At Court Injunction – Call out from Klabona Keepers

Posted by admin on Oct 7th, 2014

Wed at 8:00am
Supreme Court of British Columbia
800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6Z 2E1

We – the Klabona Keepers – are currently blockading the road to Red Chris Mine owned by Imperial Metals, the same company responsible for the Mt.Polley disaster. Their wreckless operation and management of the Mt. Polley disaster on unceded Secwepemc territory pushes us to continue theNopposition we’ve had of this project since its beginning. They haven’t even begun to clean up Mt. Polley. They’ve destroyed the second largest salmon-run in the world. Their largest investor, Murray Edwards, is shifting assets and bailing out Red Chris rather than using that money to clean up the catastrophe they have caused.

And now there is another attempt to undermine the sovereignty of Indigenous Nations on our unceded land and water… We have been served a court injunction through the Supreme Court of British Columbia, between ourselves and Imperial Metals, which ultimately will result in the arrests of our elders this coming week for peacefully protecting what is rightfully theirs.

This Wednesday the injunction will be taken to court in Vancouver at 10:00am, with presentation from the applicant.

WE ARE CALLING ON ALL NATIONS TO COME TOGETHER AND MAKE NOISE OUTSIDE OFTHE COURTHOUSE AND OCCUPY THE SPACE FOR THE ENTIRE DAY TO LET THEM KNOWTHAT THEIR UNRULY ACTIONS WILL NOT PROCEED UNACCOUNTED FOR.
