A few dozen people rallied against smart meters in front of a B.C. Hydro office in Burnaby on Saturday.
The rally, organized by Citizens for Safe Technology and the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters, was part of a series of similar events across the province.
"We're really happy with how the rally went; it went quite well. We'd like to see more members out, but considering it was our first time, it went well," said Mission resident Lori Giesbrecht, one of the organizers of the Burnaby event.
The group is concerned about the health impacts of the wireless technology used with smart meters, while B.C. Hydro maintains the devices are safe.
The local event was at Burnaby's Fraser Foreshore Park, across the street from a B.C. Hydro on Glenlyon Parkway.
