Five campers told by parks board to \u0022pack up and remove their belongings and move elsewhere\u0022
Five campers were told that they were in breach of a city bylaw and that they needed to “pack up and remove their belongings and move elsewhere.” The bylaw states it’s OK to camp in parks overnight as a last resort, but all structures must be removed in the morning. Also, persons must not camp within 25 metres of a school and cannot camp on beaches, sports fields, golf courses community centres or off-leash dog areas.
“Once the individuals have left the area, arrangements will be made with Sanitation and Park Operations to completely remove all item,” the statement read. One of the campers, Steve Adams, told Postmedia News on Sunday that he had been living at the site for the past eight months, and before that was living beneath the Burrard Bridge. That area has now been fenced off as the Squamish First Nation prepares to build several rental condo towers on its land.
