MONTREAL — Quebec’s Superior Court has granted a temporary 10\u002Dday injunction to halt the dismantling and displacement of a long\u002Dstanding homeless encampment…
Karine Lacoste, who struggles with substance use and has been living at the camp for about a year, said its roughly 20 residents have nowhere else to go and will try to return if they are evicted.
David Chapman, Executive Director of homeless shelter Resilience Montreal located two blocks from the encampment, said community members have limited relocation options — even in the short term — because of their complex and precarious situation. “Resilience Montreal has offered the government of Quebec and the Ministry of Transport a relocation plan where we would temporarily put the people into a motel for a number of months until we could find apartments that suited each of their individual needs, but to date, the proposal has been ignored.”Article content
Quebec’s Transport Ministry said on Thursday it would not comment on Masse’s ruling since the case is still before the court.
