The proposed bylaw would include encampments like the one at St. George’s Square where a number of people experiencing homelessness have set up tents to live in.
In a news release, the bylaw would also cover related activities but didn’t elaborate on whether it included protests and demonstrations.
A report on the draft bylaw is expected to be presented to council at a special meeting on Feb. 14.
It would be brought back to council for final approval on Feb. 27.
