ABBOTSFORD - The dozen people still living in a tent village in Abbotsford think this could be their last day somewhere dry and out of the wind.
The City has ordered them off the empty provincially-owned parking lot beside Jubilee Park, where they had been camping since October. Several say they think the city and police will move in and dismantle their homeless camp while they are at the courthouse tomorrow (Tuesday) fighting the city's determined effort to make them go away.
A BC Supreme court order deadline to vacate the site came and went on Saturday without any action from the city. Pivot Legal is representing the campers, and plans to ask for an injunction to stay the order until a full hearing can be made in court.
Campers say the city has been very clear about where it doesn't want the homeless, but has offered no alternatives or possible solutions or willingness to discuss either.
