A protest is planned to take place at the University of B.C.鈥檚 Okanagan campus tomorrow (March 2).
Students from UBCO are joining 11 other Canadian universities to protest the Royal Bank of Canada鈥檚 funding of fossil fuel projects and driving the climate crisis while violating Indigenous rights.
The campus protests will be using #RBCOffCampus to stand in solidarity with Wet鈥檚uwet鈥檈n land defenders resisting the Coastal GasLink Pipeline.
RBC is said to be Canada鈥檚 largest funder of fossil fuels and the sixth largest worldwide.
Students are demanding UBCO remove RBC鈥檚 presence from campus.
The protest will start at 9 a.m. on the first floor of the University Centre building.
