US EditionAdvocate says city illegally trying to remove man from Abbotsford encampment
- An advocate for unhoused people, Brett Van Bergen, reported that city bylaw officers attempted to remove the belongings of a man hospitalized since March 24, claiming it was an illegal action.
- City officials stated that earlier communication indicated removal of belongings was requested, but later confirmed the man wanted his possessions to stay at the encampment.
- The October court ruling requires the city to avoid displacement when adequate shelter options are not available and prohibits taking down shelters absent evidence of abandonment.
- Van Bergen claims the city's actions are unlawful and violations of human rights, calling for the designation of municipal land for safe and legal camping for unhoused individuals.
