Tolko91裸聊视频檚 head office had some unscheduled visitors Monday.

Earth Strike Vernon, a climate advocacy group in Vernon who have staged a handful of peaceful demonstrations over the past year, protested outside the Vernon headquarters from noon to 3 p.m.

The move, said group co-founder Kieran Grandbois, is to protest what he said is Tolko91裸聊视频檚 plan to log an area close to Vernon91裸聊视频檚 water supply.
