April 5, 2023, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: Demonstrators take to East Hastings Street in Vancouver, Canada, as police and city crews remove a homeless encampment. The City of Vancouver requested a heavy police presence for the safety of crews clearing the tents, temporary structures and personal effects of homeless residents who have camped on the sidewalk for about eight months, sometimes blocking the entrances of businesses and residencies. The move follows the closure of encampments in public parks two years ago at the onset of what’s now Canada’s worst affordable housing crisis. Motivating the latest sweep, officials cited a spike in fires, assaults, robberies and other public safety concerns in a neighbourhood with high number of Indigenous residents and those living with mental illness and addiction.
