Emotions ran high in Downtown Vancouver today as a group of protestors blocked off the Granville Street Bridge in both directions following a rally at the B.C. Supreme Court.
The demonstrators were standing in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en nation by occupying the bridge hours after the protest began. As of 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 12, however, the bridge is now open to traffic.
