Local authorities closing down Millennium Park encampment on Saturday
The eviction notices have been handed out and James Munro knows he will be forced out of his temporary home at Millennium Park encampment in downtown Prince George.
The park is across the street from a gas station/convenience store and a shelter where they can get food, water and showers, while Moccasin Flats has few amenities. The city has yet to announce any infrastructural improvements to deal with more campers. The campers have been told they must take their belongings with them or risk losing them. He said none of the authorities have come up with any alternative housing solutions.
“They throw eggs and they bounce golf balls in here,” he said “Do you know what a golf ball does at 60 kilometres an hour? One girl was hit with a frozen slush that smashed into her face and broke her nose.”
