More arrests at Carnaby today
80 year old First Nations grandmother chained herself to trucks


Dan Veniez Manager of the New Skeena tried to remove equipment from the Carnaby saw mill in Hazelton. The workers have been out of work for 2 years and are still owed about 3.7 million dollars.

First Nations and CEP workers proudly stood together to prevent the equipment from leaving the site to be sold off by Dan Veniez. As the RCMP arrested one person, another person would step in to their place.

If you went into a bank and took $20,000.00 out at gunpoint the RCMP would go after you. But if you take 3.7 million dollars from people you do not even have to wear a mask, and the RCMP will be forced to help you,

CEP 298 supports all the people of Hazelton.

CEP 404 the First Nations and the citizens of the Hazelton are fighting for the future of the area while the sawmills are all shut down logging trucks are rolling by to export raw logs. This means jobs, their children�s future and money is all rolling down the road and getting exported with the logs.

Dan Veniez Manager of the New Skeena has been reported as saying he has offered to sell the Carnaby Saw Mill for One Dollar ($1.00) to the people of the Hazelton area at a meeting. The people of Hazelton excepted the offer but Dan Veniez does not appear to want to follow through with his offer.



Dan Veniez has said he wants to open up the mills.
How can he open the mills if he is selling all the equipment needed to run them?

When the People of BC voted liberal they did not vote to have their Jobs Exported. How can exporting our future be good for the working people?

History will find these Protesters innocent
