EDMONTON — Activists from the environmental group Greenpeace seized a giant dump truck and shovel at Shell’s Albian Sands open-pit-mine north of Fort McMurray Tuesday.
A news release from the group says protesters from Canada, the U.S. and France entered the mine site at 8 a.m. and blockaded the truck and shovel by chaining together pickup trucks.
Two groups of activists then scaled the machines and chained themselves down while a third unveiled a giant banner reading: “Tar Sands: Climate Crime.”
Mike Hudema, a spokesman for the group, said they are prepared to remain at the site until their message is heard.
