Overnight sheltering will no longer be allowed in Topaz, Hollywood and Regatta Point parks after this summer
The City of Victoria is serving notice that overnight sheltering in Topaz, Hollywood and Regatta Point parks will come to an end after the summer.
Council passed the motion 7-2, with councillors Marg Gardiner and Stephen Hammond voting against it. Gardiner said it would just push tenters to other parks. Loughton said the parks relocation co-ordinator would work with people individually to find housing or shelter suitable for each person. Loughton is in favour of more projects like the 30-unit tiny-home community that sits on part of the Royal Athletic Park parking lot, and said the first step is finding places where they could be established.
