Save Old Growth protester scales Victoria Visitor Centre

This morning, a member of the activist group Save Old Growth scaled the visitor centre in downtown Victoria.

The group said that the protester, identified as a woman named “Ever”, climbed up the building to take a stand against government inaction on protecting our old growth forests.

“My actions may seem dramatic but we need dramatic change now for a liveable future tomorrow,” says Save Old Growth supporter Ever.#SaveOldGrowth #A22Network pic.twitter.com/a61zO6hBZX

The protester hung a banner that said “Our clock is ticking! 961 days left.”

She also had the words “961 days left” written on her chest and back.

“My actions may seem dramatic but we need dramatic change now for a liveable future tomorrow,” said the woman.
