Those tenting in Crab Park say politicians aren’t listening to their perspectives
Homeless residents of Vancouver’s Crab Park crossed the Strait of Georgia and set up on the B.C. legislature’s lawn Wednesday in a bid to capture the attention of lawmakers.
The Crab Park encampment, located a few blocks from Canada Place along Vancouver’s harbourfront, formed in 2021 and was able to remain after a B.C. Supreme Court judge set aside eviction notices. That decision was, in part, due to the city not having enough indoor shelter spaces to accommodate those living in tents.
“I can’t believe they’re not out here right now, this is an opportunity to engage with the people,” the demonstrator said.
