Eagleridge Bluffs Blockade

In April 2006, protesters began blockading construction on the Sea to Sky Highway north of Vancouver in an area known as Eagleridge Bluffs.  They opposed expansion of the highway for the 2010 Games based on the environmental destruction that would occur.  In May 2006, twenty-four protesters were arrested by West Vancouver Police, including elder Harriet Nahanee (who would later be sentenced to two weeks imprisonment and would pass away shortly after her release, on Feb. 24, 2007).
