VANCOUVER — People camping and living in a Vancouver park will have until the end of the month to pack up their tents.
Vancouver’s park board general manager issued a new order Friday restricting tents and other temporary structures from being set up in Strathcona Park after April 30.
The board says in a statement that the shut down is a “necessary next step” to return the park to community use.
The order comes after the province, city and park board signed a formal agreement this week to end the 10-month encampment that has swelled to roughly 400 tents.
