Many people at the march were there to mark the memories of their own sisters, daughters, mothers and friends who had been killed or disappeared in the Downtown Eastside. Marchers called for more resources and a stronger mandate for the Pickton inquiry, investigating how so many women could go missing over several years without action.

In a one-two blow to progressive groups on campus, Simon Fraser University's student governance groups locked out 20 staff after two years of negotiations, and recommended terminating the lease of the Simon Fraser Public Interest Research Group's space.

NORTH VANCOUVER—RCMP briefly arrested four CUPW postal workers who occupied the downtown community office of Conservative MP Andrew Saxton yesterday, refusing to leave until the Harper government reverses its decision to invoke back-to-work legislation. The RCMP said they relayed the group's ultimatum to Saxton in Ottawa, but had to make the arrests on a charge of assault by trespass after Saxton's office staff complained. About 50 fellow workers and supporters held a noisy information picket and drivers were constantly honking to show support for the locked-out workers. image by Murray Bush/flux photo
