The central issue in the B.C. Court of Appeal case is whether the 1882 Beacon Hill Park Trust under which the City of Victoria runs the park is a ‘contract’, or is subject to change
The issue of camping in Beacon Hill Park will be back in court in November, when the province’s appeal of a court ruling that effectively banned setting up camp in the park is set to be heard.
The outcome of the appeal hearing in Vancouver could affect future decisions around temporary sheltering in the park, which is owned by the city and operates under the trust. It argues that the February decision did not take into account the fact that allowed uses in the park can change over time as laws evolve and the needs of a community change. Factors affecting the local community in recent years have included the COVID-19 pandemic, B.C.’s housing situation, and challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness, it says.
In July 2021, after working with the province and other agencies to line up housing for people living outdoors, the city prohibited sheltering in Beacon Hill Park for two years so the park could be restored.
