Only one resident named in the court order allowing the City to close Moccasin Flats remains in the encampment.
That comes from the City’s Director of Administrative Services Eric Depenau at this afternoon’s (Tuesday) Standing Committee on Public Safety meeting.
In August, the City announced its application to close the encampment was successful, with the Court authorizing the immediate closure to all but 20 people.
Depeneau added others are occupying the site, but there’s only one remaining occupant as defined in the court order.
“Everyone else has been able to find appropriate housing and has moved on, and so that’s, I hesitate to say a success, because a great deal of human tragedy and suffering has befallen folks to find themselves in this circumstance, so there’s more work to be done,” he said.
According to a notice posted outside of the encampment, the area will be cleared starting on Friday, October 24th at 9:00 am.
