Tiny home sent from B.C. capital to northern pipeline protest front lines
VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 10 – The tiny home supports Gitxsan Nation protests against the PRGT pipeline, which threatens sovereignty and salmon; built by 120 volunteers in two weeks, organizers said.
- On Wednesday afternoon in Victoria, activists sent off a tiny home on a trailer over 1,000 kilometres north to Gitxsan territory for protest against the pipeline.
- Prompted by the June 5 ruling, the pipeline must have a substantial start by November 2024, but the original engagement process was flawed and challenged Gitxsan sovereignty.
- Storrie and about 120 volunteers built the tiny home in two weeks at the University of Victoria, marking its first protest use, to be placed on a dog sanctuary in the pipeline right-of-way.
- At the protest, organizers called the tiny home a 'resistance camp' and protesters declared, 'This is an attack on our whole way of life.'
- Beyond protests, the pipeline's terminal lacks final environmental approval, and legal challenges continue to delay its progress, highlighting ongoing regulatory hurdles.
