One arrested after group gathered for unsanctioned event at UVic

One individual was arrested after a group gathered on the University of Victoria campus for an unsanctioned OneBC event. The speakers came to campus after being warned that they did not have the university’s permission to hold such an event. CBC reports that a UVic official told OneBC members that they were trespassing and asked them to leave. The majority were escorted off campus by police. One individual was arrested under the Trespass Act and was later released. In response to the event, Indigenous faculty and staff hosted a gathering in support of residential school survivors on campus that was reportedly attended by around 900 people.
