Slideshow of scenes from Trinity Bellwoods Park. Halifax’s housing crisis and official discomfort over the visible homeless population is not unique. In Toronto, at Trinity Bellwoods Park, a police and bylaw officer presence on June 22 forced nearly 25 people to leave their temporary homes and shelters in the park. The eviction included pepper spray and at least three arrests, and made national headlines. Backlash against the city continues after mayor John Tory installed a fence to permanently block residents from returning to the park. In Halifax, the municipality has set a similar deadline for at least 11 Halifax residents to dismantle and abandon their crisis shelters or “sheds” in various public parks by Tuesday.
