Protesters chained or glued themselves to the doors of a downtown Vancouver hotel this morning as the final day of the Council of Forest Industries Convention was getting underway.

Members of Save Old Growth are demanding a legislated end to logging in BC's old growth forests and want a meeting with Forests Minister Katrine Conroy.

Premier John Horgan is addressing the convention (at 12:45) this afternoon.

The demonstrators say they are disrupting the event because the government is ``so out of touch'' that it won't meet with them and will only ``interact with itself and industry lobbyists.''
