"We are growing frustrated with different levels of government passing the buck," said Strathcona Business Improvement Association executive director Theodora Lamb.

The B.C. Supreme Court granted an injunction on Wednesday, with a 72-hour window to clear the camp.

The new camp, which has grown to an estimated 80 tents, is located on Waterfront Road between CRAB Park and the Helijet terminal.

Lawyers on both sides of a new homeless camp were in B.C. Supreme Court on Thursday litigating an injunction application, but won't learn the outcome until next week.

The claim accuses organizers of trespassing, after they set up the tent city to protest the amount of shelter being provided during COVID-19.

The province says about 265 people have been moved to temporary housing, but one homeless advocate says the province housed the most visible, not the most vulnerable.

The province is moving residents of the camp and two homeless camps in Victoria into safer temporary housing, including rooms at six hotels. 

Advocates for the Downtown Eastside camp say the plan is only focused on the most visible of Vancouver's homeless, and that thousands more need those hotel units first.

The transition — meant to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus within groups of people already at risk — will be a temporary one with the goal of moving people into longer-term housing at a later date, officials are promising.

Some of the activists, who are calling for safe housing for Vancouver's homeless to stay isolated during the coronavirus crisis, made their way to the roof.
