AW@L vs RBC

AW@L vs RBC, Olympic Sponsor and Tar Sands Financier, in Kitchener-Waterloo

Long before the 2010 Corporate Campaign launched, RBC had been a major target of anti-Olympic activists across the country. In March 2009, AW@L worked with KW ARA to target RBC in uptown Waterloo. "Big" Mark from the ARA was arrested at this action after dropping a banner from the roof of RBC.

During the Copenhagen summits, we decided to target RBC for their gross greenwashing campaign sponsoring the 2010 Olympics. * National day of action targets RBC’s environmental destruction for 2010 Vancouver-Whistler Olympics and the Alberta Tar Sands: ‘No Olympics on Stolen Native Land, No Dirty Money for Dirty Oil’, RBC told by activists

The day the Olympic torch left Victoria, in solidarity with the mobilization there, AW@L targetted RBC in Waterloo, across the road from Wifrid Laurier University. * As Olympic torch leaves Victoria, activists promise opposition across the country: AW@L returns to RBC, says 'No Olympics on Stolen Native Land'

On the Global Day of Action on Climate Change, during the Copenhagen summit, the day the Olympic Torch entered Ontario, AW@L returned to RBC yet again.
