The Region of Waterloo says it is not currently planning to appeal Justice M. Valente s decision that ruled it cannot evict those living at an encampment at the corner of Victoria and Weber Streets in Kitchener.
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has declined the Region of Waterloo's application to have tents and living spaces removed from a property it owns at 100 Victoria St. in downtown Kitchener. But Justice Valente says if shelter capacity increases, that decision could change.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Housing, Diversity and Inclusion Ahmed Hussen were in Kitchener Tuesday to make a major housing announcement.
With the eviction of a large encampment in downtown Kitchener slated for next week, supporters held a rally and march Wednesday calling on the Region of Waterloo to change course and let the people living at the site stay.
