Kingston, Ont. unhoused left with nowhere to go as encampment protocol reinstated
The week began with an unexpected move for a group of unhoused Kingstonians who were camping behind the old Beer Store by Bagot and Cataraqui streets.
“We’re getting evicted today because, apparently, the owners of the building and neighbours wanted us to vacate,” Shelley continues. “Police showed up and they pretty well said to us that if we don’t vacate in an hour that they’re going to come and muscle us out. And slap us with a bunch of charges if we do not leave.”Kingston police say officers responded to a complaint of a small encampment just after 10 a.m.
