VANCOUVER — Vancouver's park board says it has begun the process of closing the homeless encampment that has been in place at a local park since 2021.
The statement says "ongoing non-compliance" at the encampment remains a health and safety risk, as well as an "unsustainable" strain on the park board's resources, and concern is growing as winter approaches. The activists also criticized the city's decision to end the encampment happening outside of the courts, where an "equal platform for a cohesive decision" could be reached.
