A provincial court judge in Nanaimo has stuck a climate change protester with probation conditions that include a prohibition against possessing glue outside his home.

Victor Lawrence Brice, who has taken part in a number of protests against climate change and old-growth logging in and around Nanaimo was sentenced in provincial court Aug. 3 after pleading guilty to blocking a highway during a protest in January, when he glued his hand to the pavement, and a second incident when he and another protester glued their hands to the entrance doors of the RBC bank branch at Brooks Landing shopping centre.
