WATCH: Vehicles from BC and Alberta rally in Prince George

A convoy of vehicles made their way through the city earlier this week to show support for resource development.

Dozens of vehicles, mostly trucks and semis, met at 9:00 am on Boundary Road, just off of the Yellowhead Highway, before traveling together to the Civic Centre for a rally during the 16th Annual Natural Resources Forum. 

The forum, which is the largest multi-sector resource conference in Western Canada, was hosting Premier John Horgan.

“The resource sector has been taking a bit of a beating lately from some of the negative groups, so we’d like to let them know there is a positive message and people that do support these industries.”

– Dennis Giesbrecht, one of the organizers of the event

Giesbrecht said the recent Wet’suwet’en protest of the Coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline is just one example of a “negative group.”
