A 43-year-old Kitchener, Ont., man has been charged after a demonstration last month near the encampment on Roos Island in Victoria Park that saw some people break through a gate installed by the city.
Six people are currently living on Roos Island in Kitchener's Victoria Park. The city says they've all been offered interim housing options and most are expected to move in the coming days. The closure is to ensure the safety of people and their privacy.
The City of Kitchener says that access to Roos Island is temporarily restricted as those living in the encampment move on to other areas in the coming days.
