VANCOUVER—From condemning pipelines, to denouncing legacy media, to shutting down Vancouver’s busiest highway over old growth logging, to protesting a TED Talks conference featuring Bill Gates, hundreds of activists rallied for a variety of causes in Vancouver this past weekend.

On April 8, members of Save Old Growth interrupted rush hour traffic on Vancouver’s North Shore when dozens of protesters blocked the Trans-Canada Highway in both directions for more than an hour.
