The residents of the Millennium Park encampment were served with a second eviction notice from the City of Prince George on Wednesday , this one in the form of an evacuation order signed by Prince George fire chief Cliff Warner.
The first notices given to the residents and still pinned to tents on the site stated that the residents must cease occupation of Millennium Park and that all personal property at the location after Sept. 8 is subject to immediate removal and permanent disposal. However, the city’s Aug. 31 media release regarding the encampment states that occupants of Millennium Park have been informed that all personal property must be removed from the site by Sept. 9.
“We don’t have a choice so it’s either go to Moccasin Flats or stay here and lose all of our stuff. They are saying they are going to take our stuff so we can’t even fight it,” he said. “We are just so fortunate that we had a private citizen who just happened to have several large containers trailers on wheels that were able to use during the weekend to help residents there make sure personal belongings are safely stored in those trailers,” said Yu.
