History of the Vancouver Five

By Jim Campbell, Antifa Info_Bulletin. In the spring of 1982 a bomb destroyed the nearly completed Cheekeye-Dunsmuir Hydro substation. Direct Action claimed responsibility. Later, a Toronto bombing was linked to the Vancouver anarchist community. On January 20, 1983, near Squamish, B.C. the Vancouver Five were arrested as they returned to Vancouver from target practice in the mountains.
