The Port of Vancouver says it is now planning to take legal action against a homeless camp that popped up this weekend in a parking lot owned by the port next to CRAB Park.
A spokesperson has not said if that will come in the form of an injunction against the campers. Homeless advocate Chrissy Brett says there are about 20 tents at the site, along with more than three dozen people. “The fire department just came down to check in with us and take a look around and see who it is who they need to talk to if an emergency broke out, or if leaders were there to talk to if an emergency happened,” Brett said.
On Sunday, Brett told Global News this encampment was a response to the province clearing out the long-running homeless camp at Oppenheimer
