Demo held in support of Wet’su’weten
A demonstration was held near Square Victoria on Tuesday afternoon in support of the Wet’suwet’en chiefs. TVA says the protesters never gave an itinerary to police, but they must have missed the memo saying that bylaw was struck down two years ago.

More exactly: the hereditary chiefs, since the elected chiefs support the CGL project.
Also, an itinerary is no longer required (which the article perhaps deceptively omitted, and should not have), but even before that bylaw existed, protest organizers often informed the police anyway, either as a courtesy, to help the police protect them, to get on their good side, etc. So it’s noteworthy they chose not too, but misleading to omit the bylaw being struck down.
