“There have been incidences of human trafficking, of violent assaults of drug trafficking and theft, and as mayor, I want to make sure that as a city we can stand behind our services that we are offering,” Paterson said. The delay allows campers who cannot go to shelters because of restrictions to stay close to the ICH, and access resources through the winter.

At the meeting, council heard a dozen delegations from residents, campers and organizations. Most favoured the delay.“I felt proud. I felt good, that these are my friends that I consider family now, that we are actually on the right track, that we’re listening to each other,” Cook said.“We consider it a win,” said Laura Chaignon of Mutual Aid Katarokwi-Kingston.
