VICTORIA The City of Victoria and provincial government say they are helping to move campers from Victoria’s Central Park into other areas due to flooding in the area. The city says that recent snow and rainfall has caused Central Park to flood, making it unsafe for people to shelter in. The municipality now plans to move campers into the parking lot of Royal Athletic Park until BC Housing can find additional indoor shelter space. “With the recent heavy rainfall, the situation in Central Park has become untenable for those sheltering,” said Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps in a release Tuesday.
