“Today I introduced a petition with 30,000 signatures from British Columbians to ask Premier Horgan to protect our remaining old growth and implement all the recommendations from the Old Growth Strategic Review Panel.
The introduction of the petition comes as protesters have been camped out in several areas of southwestern Vancouver Island to protest old-growth logging.
