Evictions begin in central Edmonton encampment as advocacy group loses bid to stall removals

By WNews 1 Min Read

An advocacy group that accused the City of Edmonton of failing to ensure there is adequate shelter spaces to accommodate people evicted from homeless encampments has lost its latest bid to halt the evictions.

The Coalition for Justice and Human Rights alleges the city and the Edmonton Police Service have breached an interim injunction by failing to ensure there is adequate shelter space to accommodate people being evicted from the encampments.

The Edmonton-based coalition argued its case before Court of King’s Bench Justice Kent Davidson Tuesday.

Chris Wiebe, a lawyer representing the coalition, told CBC News that Davidson denied the group’s request for a pause.
