Abbotsford and groups representing the homeless will be back in court today as the city seeks an order to prevent homeless people from camping in city parks.
Last fall, the city won a court injunction to remove a homeless camp in Jubilee Park.
The city is seeking an order to make it illegal to camp or erect a tent in any park in Abbotsford.
Pivot Legal Society will be representing the homeless, and says they will be “seeking a declaration of their fundamental right to exist and be treated equally.”
Abbotsford has been in the news recently regarding homelessness after a proposed homeless shelter was turned down.
