A small but determined group of Youbou TimberLess Society members again took the societies fight against the Export of Raw Logs to the public. On Friday, 17th September 2004 society members demonstrated on a pedestrian overpass located just South of Duncan on the Island Highway. Once again support in the form of loud blasts from truck air horns, quieter toots from lesser vehicles and sometimes wild waving from vehicle occupants was evident. A conservative guess would be an expression of support from at least 75% of passing traffic. It is estimated some 10,000 vehicles were exposed to YTS banners during the four hour demonstration. Support from the public during this demonstration can only be described as "uplifting" and we encourage everyone to become part of our next demonstration slated to be held Monday, 4th October 2004 at the same location. The 4th October event will make the YTS part of an Island wide event which will see demonstrations taking place at several other Island locations.
