UPDATE:

Mounties say a 32-year-old woman has a court date after chaining herself to a gate on Trans Mountain property in Kamloops earlier today.

Police say the demonstration started at about 6 a.m. at an area off of Airport Road, which is where Trans Mountain is building its pipeline expansion project.

A security guard apparently tries to reason with the demonstrator to unchain herself, but she did not, which led to police showing up.

A Mountie read out the BC Supreme Court injunction ruling to the demonstrator, which states that no demonstration can interfere with construction of the pipeline project.

The woman was taken into custody for allegedly being in contempt of a court order, and was later released. Police did not say that charges were laid, but the woman involved will appear in court in Vancouver next month.

That woman identified herself on social media as Lorelei Dick during the demonstration, as a live stream was set up for more than an hour while it was happening.

Dick says she stands with Secwepemc nation members, and in the video she talks about “Turtle Island,” which is a reference to North America used today, often by Indigenous environmental activists.

Construction on the pipeline expansion in that area started about a month ago.

Local Indigenous bands, namely Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc, the Whispering Pines/ Clinton Indian Band and the Skeetchestn Indian Band, have given prior and informed consent for the pipeline expansion project, and have signed mutual benefit agreements with Trans Mountain.
