As Vancouver tent city expands, some neighbours voice support for campers' demands


As the tent city at Strathcona Park expands, some neighbours are voicing support for a new list of demands the campers have issued to the city, as well as the provincial and federal governments, including permanent housing for all. The campers moved to Strathcona Park after Vancouver police enforced an injunction granted by the B.C. Their list of demands, outlined in a news release, includes "permanent housing for all, an end to the cycle of displacement, and repatriation of unceded Indigenous land." He said he supports the campers' demands, including their search for permanent housing or a permanent site. "Some people, as long as they're forced to live outside, will feel safest in a tent city community," Cooper said.
