On Thursday, approximately 20 youth from the x\u02b7m\u0259\u03b8kw\u0259y\u0313\u0259m, Skwxw\u00fa7mesh, S\u0259l\u0313\u00edlw\u0259ta\u026c (Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh) and other First Nations occupied the lobby \u2014 as well as south and west entrances \u2014 of 250 Howe St., a high-rise building housing Chubb Insurance Co. of Canada, one of 11 insurers backing the pipeline project.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are demanding that they stop insuring the pipeline,\u201d said a protest spokesperson who declined to give their name. \u201cWe\u2019re going to be here all day, we\u2019re going to make sure that they hear us, that they know that we\u2019re here, that we know that we are trying to pressure them to stop insuring this pipeline.\u201d<\/p>\n
