Idle No More Kamloops in Aberdeen mall
On Dec. 30 around 11:30 a.m., a group of Indigenous people and some non-Indigenous supporters took over the area below the escalators at Aberdeen Mall in Kamloops, B.C. in an Idle No More flash mob.
Here are some of the highlights.
Proposed open pit Ajax mine threatens the future of Kamloops, B.C.

Proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion faces opposition in Kamloops, B.C.
The "No Pipelines No Tankers Solidarity Tour" made its stop in Kamloops last Wednesday evening, and local issues relating to the Trans Mountain pipeline were raised.
Five speakers greeted a packed auditorium.
"Who's opposed to pipelines?" asked the MC. Almost every hand in the room went up.
