"This is what it has come to in Shawnigan Lake. A young mother, her baby strapped to her chest, and a grandfather, standing together in front of a 40-tonne dump truck before dawn on a cold December morning.
Every morning, we return to the mountain. Sometimes dozens of us, sometimes only a few, but we return because this situation – a company being allowed by our government to dump contaminated soil in our watershed – is an affront to democracy, to common sense, to logic, and to science. And it is a threat to our survival as a community."
