Hinkson ordered residents of the tent city to leave as soon as they can and move into housing made available by the province. The ruling grants the province an injunction to shut down the camp over the next several weeks. Conditions changed between the two injunction applications, Hinkson said, adding that violence and criminal activity at the camp have “markedly increased” in recent months. Supreme Court said in a 40-page decision released Tuesday conditions have deteriorated at the so-called tent city. Coleman said the province has a transition plan in place for people living in the camp.
