DAY 13 AT TENT CITY

BE PROUD OF YOUR EFFORTS!

Thank you to a growing group of campers and daily supporters! You should be proud of being part of one of the most important citizen's actions in the history of British Columbia! Our resolve to continue the occupation at tent city until the BC Government halts the devastation and chooses an alternative route is stronger than ever.

Supporters of The Coalition to Save Eagleridge Bluffs at Horseshoe Bay have been subjected to unprecedented scare tactics by the provincial government regarding personal liability. Don't be intimidated, there is no reason to feel uneasy about visiting the bluffs. It is now, at this crucial time that WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT more than ever.

NOTICE TO DEMONSTRATORS REGARDING PERSONAL LIABILITY

MESSAGE FROM OUR LEGAL COUNSEL

“Late Friday, April 28, 2006, the contractor (Peter Kiewit Sons Co. Ltd.) and the concessionaire (Sea-to-Sky Highway Investment Limited Partnership) filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Dennis Perry, Bruce McArthur, John Doe and Jane Doe as the first step in seeking an injunction order to restrain protest activity in the vicinity of Eagleridge Bluffs. Our lawyers have been advised that the companies wish to appear before a judge on Monday.

Nobody, other than perhaps Dennis Perry and Bruce McArthur, currently faces potential personal financial exposure as a result of this lawsuit. Furthermore, nobody faces the possibility of arrest unless, and until, the court issues an injunction order and the order is defied. We will have plenty of advance notice before that order is made. Please note that peaceful protest is not only a lawful activity, expressive protest activity is a constitutionally protected right in a democracy like ours. Often, it is the only means available to a group like ours when the government has tuned us out. We can feel free to continue to peacefully demonstrate our displeasure with the government’s decision until we receive a lawful order to stop doing so.”
