Part of a downtown Vancouver park is being temporarily closed as staff remove tents and other structures.
The tents are being removed as staff enforce a bylaw restricting structures from being in CRAB Park, on the Vancouver Harbour waterfront just north of the Downtown Eastside.
Donnie Rosa, the parks board general manager, says staff have been able to move some people camping in the park, but roughly 45 have refused to leave.
Rosa says there are indoor housing options available for those currently camping in the park and they have until Thursday at 10 am to leave.
Vancouver Park Board on Twitter:
The GM of the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation has issued an order to temporarily close the southwest portion of CRAB Park for remediation. The order takes effect on Sept. 9 at 10am and is pursuant to the Parks Control By-law.
