VANCOUVER - A formal agreement has been signed by British Columbia, the city and parks board to work together to end a 10-month encampment in Vancouver that has frustrated residents who lost access to a park in their neighbourhood.
Housing Minister David Eby said Tuesday the agreement will involve the province, city and parks board as they try to find solutions to difficult social problems like homelessness involving other encampments in the future.
Strathcona Park has been occupied since last June by people living in up to 400 tents. The province has promised to provide housing by April 30.
Eby said the agreement is a commitment to work together on an ongoing basis to minimize the risk of future encampments in public spaces.
Part of the commitment involves the city and the park board enforcing bylaws on camping in public places when suitable spaces are available for people to move indoors.
Earlier this month, the B.C. government announced it had bought three more hotels with a total of 249 units to help house the homeless. About 114 units are expected to be available soon.
