PRITCHARD, B.C. — Camping on Crown land in B.C. is legal for a maximum of 14 consecutive calendar days.

Residents in Pritchard say squatters are staying for far longer than that, with some hanging around for months at the base of Pritchard Bridge on the north side of the South Thompson River.

As CFJC Today reports, the Thompson Nicola Regional District is looking for solutions.
