The camp emerged shortly after police cleared a tent city near Crab Park on June 15. Advocates are asking that more be done to house people who have been moving from camp to camp in Vancouver. Brett says about half of the campers in this latest encampment came from previous tent cities at Oppenheimer Park and Crab Park. Many people were moved into temporary housing secured by the province, while others went to a new tent city on a lot near Crab Park. Brett said campers have been in regular conversations with members of the Vancouver Park Board, which has jurisdiction over Strathcona Park.
