“We’re here today to shine a light on the fact that this drill has arrived and that they’re planning on using to drill through the mountain. It’s a really major piece of equipment that’s critical to the project and it’s really notable that it’s arrived here,” said one of the two women occupying it. “It’s quite large. I’m nearly two-storeys up right now.”

The advocacy group sent out this tweet below showing a map displaying how they've tracked the "monster drill Kinder Morgan plans to use to cut through Burnaby Mountain".

Unfortunately for them, the pin on the map where they've shown the drill to be - "Delta B.C." - is actually closer to Haines Junction, Yukon, when you line it up.
