Kingston, Ont. pauses encampment evictions while staff work on plan
Following a city council decision earlier this month, people camping in public spaces throughout the city of Kingston will be able to do so legally, as city staff have been directed to pause any evictions.
“We have our bylaw staff that are actually attending these park locations on a daily basis to ensure that there are no health and safety issues,” says Hurdle. According to Hurdle, council gave city staff direction to not proceed with evictions until it reports back with a plan.“I’m a little puzzled by why my motion is being used as a rationale for opening up all of the parks,” he says.Neill says he was careful to word his motion to specify the encampments behind the ICH and at Belle Park, rather than across the entire city.
