On Sunday a massive law enforcement operation was carried out, using trucks and cranes to remove the tents and personal belongings of homeless people who had been living there. The city’s Law Enforcement spokesperson Wayne Dyason says officers were enforcing the by-laws. The evictions have angered activists, who say it forms part of a series of illegal evictions by the City.
