A caravan of seniors wound its way along pitch-black logging roads early Thursday to be in place before first light to block old-growth logging in the Fairy Creek region on southwest Vancouver Island. …Ten seniors and two younger activists stretched out on the gravel road and their arrest by RCMP began just before sunrise. The protest and the arrests were peaceful, said organizer Jay Van Oostdam. Shortly after the 12 individuals were carried off the road, logging industry vehicles continued into the cutblocks, according to RCMP. …RFS spokesperson Kathleen Code, adding activists aren’t overly optimistic given the court, in a sense, has already overturned Justice Thompson’s decision… “so we are contemplating having to go to the Supreme Court of Canada.” …As winter descends, the number of people in the two remaining camps has dwindled. …“I imagine there’s a dozen or so determined to hold up a permanent presence,” she said.
