AnĀ attack on a Coastal Gaslink pipeline work campĀ on Thursday (Feb.17th) had workers being threatened by people wielding axes and equipment being damaged.

They not only left a great deal of property damage, but also has created a local environmental crisis due to the industrial fluids that were spilled due to the destruction. As Chief of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation, I condemn these attacks,ā€ said Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Maureen Luggi.

RCMP said millions of dollars in damages was done to the camp.
