Access to the Port of Vancouver has been restored after dozens of protesters with Palestinian flags and banners set up blockades at two entry points this morning.

An email from senior communications adviser Alex Munro says protesters at both the Clark Drive and Commissioner Street entrances have “moved on.”

He says access to the port has been “fully restored.”

In an earlier notice obtained by The Canadian Press, the port authority says police were on-site and protesters were allowing personal vehicles to leave the port, but they’re otherwise blocking access at the two entry points.
