Homeless campers who had hoped to settle for two weeks at a provincial park near Victoria have been told to pack up and leave, less than a day after setting up their tents. Parks closed Goldstream Provincial Park at 5 p.m. PT on Wednesday. A stream of RVs drove out of the park as activists drove U-Hauls in the other direction, heading to pack up the homeless campers' belongings. Goldstream Park is now closed as RCMP prepare to evict homeless campers. (Michael McArthur/CBC)In July, North Thompson Provincial Park near Clearwater, B.C., was suddenly closed and all campers were ordered to leave as RCMP evicted a protest by an Indigenous group opposed to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
