At least one man has been arrested after a group of “kayactivists” blocked the entrance by water to Trans Mountain’s Westridge marine terminal in Burnaby Wednesday morning.

The six activists had been on the water since around 5 a.m. One protester wrap-strapped themselves to each marine gate while the four kayakers blocked the entrance with their boats, attempting to prevent a tanker from entering the facility.

Some 30 protesters were also blocking access to the terminal on land throughout the day. Demonstrations in Burnaby Wednesday morning were meant to coincide with Kinder Morgan’s annual general meeting in Texas.

Liam Fox, graduate student at Simon Fraser University, was arrested by officers, who arrived by police boat, around 9 a.m.

“We’re here today to say this pipeline will never be built. Indigenous leaders have called on people across the continent to take action against this tar sands project, and we’re honouring the pledge to protect this inlet, the water, land, and climate,” he said in a press release prior to his arrest. “We will not stop until Kinder Morgan is dead.”

Activist Jake Hubley had also attached his arm to a marine gate Wednesday morning.

“I’m here to send a message to Kinder Morgan and their stakeholders while they’re sitting in their annual general meeting to let them know this project is a terrible investment,” he told the NOW. “We’ve locked down both their access gates on the ocean here so we’ve prevented workers from coming in today to do work in coordination with land defenders who are blocking road access on land.”

He says he’s willing to get arrested to stop the Trans Mountain pipeline, and stand with Indigenous people who oppose it. #TransMountain pic.twitter.com/DEmYfoRe5z — Burnaby NOW News (@BurnabyNOW_News) May 9, 2018
