Court denies City’s attempt to remove homeless encampment

PRINCE GEORGE — The BC Supreme Court has denied the city of Prince George’s application for an interim injunction to allow the removal of the homeless encampment on lower Patricia Boulevard.

The city says it had sought the injunction to remove the camp on the grounds “they are unhealthy and unsafe.”

“The city will continue to work with BC Housing, and other service providers, on these multijurisdictional issues for the benefit of all Prince George citizens.”

The city says it continues to review the judgement and that no further comment will be provided.
