Saint John staff pressed by frustrated councillors on encampment ban strategy

Frustrated Saint John councillors pressed city staff on its encampment ban strategy Monday night, asking for more data on why some residents weren't leaving tent sites. The city aimed to remove encampments from the areas of the city deemed as "red zones" by Nov. 17, but it is facing challenges because some people have more specialized needs.
