MONTREAL — At least three Greenpeace members are climbing the outside of the Olympic Stadium tower in Montreal to protest the Trans Mountain pipeline.

They plan to unfurl a banner once they reach the top of the 165-metre-tall structure.

The federal government recently said it would spend $4.5 billion to take over the project.

Greenpeace says Ottawa’s role goes against its international commitments to reducing pollution emissions.
