Volunteers and legal observers continue to document tents seized and discarded by Park Board rangers and city workers in Downtown Eastside parks, despite a call for a winter moratorium and an outright denial of the practice.
Less than 24 hours after issuing a statement saying they don’t remove belongings of people sheltering in parks, the Park Board removed another tent from Oppenheimer Park.
The statement, issued to CTV on November 29th, reads in part, “Allegations of… belongings being taken away made by community advocates are inaccurate.”
