An exclusion zone has been set up by the RCMP as they are moving ahead with enforcement of an injunction order.
The access control checkpoint which was established on Jan. 13 to prevent further escalation has now been established as a full exclusion zone. As of today, the RCMP will not allow anyone that is not part of the enforcement team, with some exceptions for Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs and Elected Council members by arrangement.
The exclusion zone has been established to temporarily create an area where police and Coastal GasLink can safely operate to deploy heavy machinery and equipment needed to clear hazards and re-establish access as intended by the Court.
Pedestrians and vehicles will not be allowed to enter the temporary exclusion zone.
