Protest and Arrests at Caycuse Old-Growth Blockade

environment · 2021-05-25 · Caycuse Old-Growth Blockade

On May 25, 2021, 42 people including Indigenous negotiators and legal observers were arrested by RCMP near the former Caycuse blockade during protests against old-growth logging. The arrests occurred without police warnings and involved detainment in crowded vehicles. The blockade was cleared and logging resumed by Teal-Jones contractors shortly after.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
