The Swartz Bay ferry terminal near Victoria has reopened after a protest blocked access and delayed a number of sailings early Monday.
The demonstration began before dawn, delaying 7 a.m. crossings from Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen for more than an hour. The sailing from Tsawwassen eventually left the terminal around 8:10 a.m., but a later crossing was cancelled altogether.
A statement from a group, which did not identify itself, said the demonstration is in support of Wet’suwet’en members opposing the Coastal GasLink pipeline in northern B.C.
