Okanagan students are continuing to pressure the Royal Bank of Canada to vacate post-secondary institutes.

Students from the University of B.C. Okanagan and from Okanagan College protested the bank from March 6-8, alongside others across Canada.

UBC Okanagan students spent three days disrupting the RBC OnCampus branch, including handing out information fliers outside of the business. The goal is to push RBC to stop funding fossil fuel projects, among other things.

In an emailed statement, a spokesperson for the student protest wrote, 91裸聊视频淩BC uses its on-campus presence to build trust with students, who they rely on for lifelong employees and future customers. Due to RBC91裸聊视频檚 deceitful marketing strategies, students are rarely given transparency around RBC91裸聊视频檚 unethical investments.91裸聊视频

Protests have also taken place at UBC Vancouver.

Students are asking RBC to:
