Today, on June 1, 2021, police enforcement of the BC Supreme Court injunction order continued in the Port Renfrew area, where officers have been primarily focussing their efforts for the past several days.
Throughout the day, officers, with the assistance of specially trained personnel, removed individuals from the Gordon Mainline Forest Service Road, including two from tripod-like structures. A total of 9 individuals were arrested for breaching the injunction (civil contempt of court). All arrested persons were transported to the Lake Cowichan RCMP Detachment for processing.
