On Nov 22nd, 2011 the Occupy Vancouver had to move again, as the supreme court wasn't the greatest camp ground. The GA was this night held at 7pm in Grandview Park. Temporary homes were found for all that didn't have a house to go back to.

The fence around Grandview Park on Commercial Drive was taken down again as part of an ongoing action against the gentrification of the park.

A group of local community members have been spearheading a Defend Grandview campaign over the summer against the restructuring of the park along what they say are plans meant to stop the poor and street vendors from congregating in the area.

An group of about 20 people tore down the newly erected fence around Grandview park on Commercial Drive. The barrier was installed to mark the beginning of a year long redevelopment project, a project that many local residents oppose. Despite reports of heavy police presence that evening, the cops could not get there on time to stop the action. At least two people were arrested.
