BURNABY, B.C. - The RCMP arrested protesters Thursday as officers enforced a court injunction to dismantle a protest camp and snuff out a sacred fire at a site where the Trans Mountain pipeline ends in Burnaby, B.C.
Cpl. Daniela Panesar said police began enforcing an order obtained by the City of Burnaby last week from the B.C. Supreme Court.
An update posted on social media by the detachment said 11 people were removed from the site known as Camp Cloud.
"Five were subsequently arrested and have since been released from custody," the post said.
Police said in a news release that a family of three living at the camp was being helped to acquire emergency shelter.
Environmental activist Tzeporah Berman, who works with the Watch House group that has an Indigenous protest site near Camp Cloud, said she understood the arrested demonstrators promised to stay away.
"The folks agreed to sign the terms and they were released," she said in a phone interview.
Officers moved in after continuing to talk with camp residents in the hope that they would obey the injunction and leave within a 48-hour deadline set by the court, the RCMP said in a news release.
That deadline passed Sunday and protesters at the camp said Monday they were prepared to protect a sacred fire, which has been burning since the camp was set up late last year. They also said they planned to tie themselves to structures rather than obey the injunction.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Geoffrey Gomery was specific in the injunction that the fire needed to be put out because it was burning in dry conditions near an aviation fuel tank farm.
Camp residents had refused requests to extinguish the fire despite the increasing risk of wildfires.
RCMP placed a large exclusion zone around Camp Cloud on Thursday as the dismantling began. They said they would arrest anyone, including media, who violated the zone.
"Our paramount concern is safety," said Panesar.

VANCOUVER — Pipeline protesters who were ordered to take down their camp outside a Kinder Morgan terminal in Burnaby, B.C., are instead preparing to tie themselves to its structures in anticipation of police intervention.
Spokeswoman Kwitsel Tatel said Monday that some of the camp's protesters have offered to protect a sacred fire that has been burning around the clock at the settlement known as Camp Cloud.
"There have been exercises that Camp Cloud has applied in order to reject police brutality by tying ourselves down to the sacred fire and some of our structures," she said in a phone interview Monday. "Bodies have been offered up to protect the sacred fire as of (Sunday.)"
The camp has grown since November from a single trailer to include a two-storey wooden structure, a cabin, an outdoor shower, more than a dozen tents and multiple vehicles and trailers.
On Friday, a B.C. Supreme Court judge granted the City of Burnaby an injunction ordering protesters to remove all structures, shelters and vehicles from the site outside a Kinder Morgan tank farm within 48 hours — a time window that passed on Sunday.

In his judgment, Justice Geoffrey Gomery also ordered that the fire be extinguished due to very dry conditions and its proximity to an aviation fuel site.
Several protesters remain on site, but Tatel said she left the camp at the request of her children after someone sped along the road near the camp and then threatened to strangle her.
"While Tatel has argued that order should still protect Camp Cloud, Dattani said the makeshift settlement has grown significantly since then, creating hazards.
Tatel said she has written a letter to the Queen of England, the Governor General of Canada and a Coast Salish chief asking them to intervene.
On Friday, Gomery said he was concerned about "vigilantes" who had begun threatening to deal with the camp themselves. Protesters have also expressed violence, he said, noting one threatened to "drop kick" and "kill" a city official.

Considering how many 1,000 of miles of pile is going to be laid in the world it is a bit puzzling why Canada would show you can't get construction even started let alone the money part of it being done in a timely and efficient way that leaves behind a product that is safe for the locals to be around for many decades and then repair and upgrades are done with minimal effort so the keys can be turned over to the locals who now have high tech employment as part of their 'gains'. Combine that with the money from oil and we will be considered to be 3rd world income even if nothing changes. Kama will show just what a bitch she really is on that day.
What's that Berman woman's name? I think it starts with a "Z". She's one of the biggest idiots going! Did she ever hold a job?
It's disgusting beyond words!

That it is, JLM but don't expect things to change anytime soon, the eco-freaks and wanna-be significant types are already planning their next encampment complete with all the accompanying filth and property degradation. Meanwhile taxpayers are footing the bill for removal of this latest example of how the 'keepers of the Earth' exhibit their concern for Mother Nature.
You have to be kidding! That is perhaps the one right thing he's done in 3 years, let's get our resources rolling, our people employed and a little revenue to run the country.
You do realize the fires are because aged, old, sick trees that are commiting suicide so the next generation can thrive?
If the forest wanted rain it's more than capable of making it rain.
Apparently it wants to burn and it wants pipelines.
Trees can alter the weather
Even in the boreal forest, summer gets hot. Trees can't move but they have figured out a way to create their own air conditioning. Atmospheric physicist Joel Thorton went to Finland to study Scots pine trees. They release chemical compounds called terpenes, which float into the air in large quantities. We recognize these terpenes as that ‘fresh cut pine’ scent, but their effects are much more influential than a scented breeze.
As the molecules float up towards the sky, they collect other molecules like ozone on the way. Once big enough, water vapour condenses on these particles, and clouds are born. “Trees create the weather they want - and the clouds they seed can influence the weather across the entire northern hemisphere,” says Nature of Things host David Suzuki.

Suicide by fire. Do you have the balls of a tree and are you willing to follow their lead?
You probably need to do a little more reading on Suzuki if you want to quote him.
Here is the final paragraph on his website re wild fores.

Today’s wildfires are a wake-up call. If we are serious about our Paris Agreement commitments, we can’t build more pipelines, expand oil sands, continue fracking or exploit extreme Arctic and deep-sea oil.

Do he lied by saying trees create their own rain?
Is this malarkey too and trees don't commit suicide by fire?
Trees live in integrated communities
Some trees develop long-term friendships with other species to help each other survive, and even spawn the next generation.
In northern Saskatchewan, the scruffy black spruce’s best friends are the feather mosses that carpet the ground at the base of its trunk. The moss keeps the tree’s roots cool and damp while the spruce provides essential shade and keeps the ground free of messy leaves that might interfere with the moss’s growth.
Things heat up when it’s time to reproduce. When there is a fire, the dry moss helps it spread along the forest floor and right up to the tree canopy where the heat melts the waxy coating of the cones at the top. Wildfire allows the cones to release thousands of seeds on the forest floor guaranteeing a new generation. “They are like the phoenix that rises from the ashes,” says biologist Jill Johnstone

Why? Does what I post have to come from a nonprofit organization that is biased to have clout?
Just because Suzuki narrates The Nature of Things doesn't mean anything.
Trees kill themselves.
