Dozens of homeless advocates gathered outside a church near Kensington Market on Friday, in response to the City of Toronto’s plans to clear out a hazardous encampment.
In a statement, the city says the encampment outside the St. Stephen-In-The-Fields Anglican Church would be serviced in the morning due to what it calls an “immediate and continuing public safety risk.”
In just the last 10 months, the encampment has experienced three fires.
The plot, however, has served as a home for several vulnerable people in the last two years, with advocates worried the evictees will be subject to further trauma and displacement as they relocate.
