City Council frustrated with Moccasin Flats, seeks closure
PRINCE GEORGE – The Lower Patricia Boulevard Encampment, also known as Moccasin Flats, was a big topic during the Prince George City Council meeting on November 4. Several Councillors were noticeably frustrated as they discussed the situation, with the City looking for solutions to social health and the safety of the community surrounding the encampment.
“It’s an eyesore, it’s a health and safety hazard, there’s fire hazards. There’s been several shootings there over the years. There have been a number of things, really, the encampment has turned into this lawless area where people can come and go and do what they want,” Councillor Brian Skakun said.
