A group of homeless campers remain inside Goldstream Provincial Park with only a handful of service providers allowed in and out of the campground, as the Oct. 2 deadline for their removal nears. An estimated 34 people set up tents on the site more than a week ago after many in the group were evicted from homeless encampments in Saanich, B.C. Housing Minister Selina Robinson announced that the government plans to find shelter and housing placements for the homeless campers by Oct. 2, which is when their permitted two-week stay ends. He said the sooner they can identify the appropriate services for the campers the sooner they can try to resolve the situation.
