A rodent infestation is slowing efforts to clean up the site next to Victoria's courthouse. The area remains behind a fence now, but for months it was home to dozens of people who lived in the contentious tent city. (Megan Thomas/CBC)The tent city was shut down several weeks ago as residents moved into shelters and transitional housing in the region, but a rodent infestation was discovered when crews moved in. The province says it has spent approximately $1.3 million to manage the site since December, 2015. At the moment there is no firm plan for the site, but discussions are underway between the province, the city and local residents.
