A group of homeless people who have been camping in Abbotsford's Jubilee Park -- some for 50 days -- have picked up and moved -- again. This time to an adjacent parking lot. And by the time you read this they may have been moved again -- forcibly by the City of Abbotsford.
Thursday morning, by 10:30 a.m. an early news report described how dozens of homeless people were dismantling their tent city in Jubilee Park and moving it piece-by-piece to a parking lot across the street on private property, where a huge eight-foot wooden wall was erected to screen the new camp from the elements.
The plywood wall designed to act as a windbreak for the new camp is made in triangular, free-standing, sections which reportedly surrounds the camp on all four sides. There are gaps between the sections to act as doorways which can be covered with tarps. A local company donated their expertise and labour to build the wall, which was entirely made using donated materials.
