Mayor Marianne Alto said the city has to consider what effect the changes would have on “folks who have no other options but to shelter in parks”
A City of Victoria bylaw amendment that aims to outlaw overnight sheltering in a number of city parks is on hold until the fall.
The bylaw amendment dictates that overnight sheltering in Topaz, Hollywood and Regatta Point parks will be illegal as of Nov. 1, subject to the city being able to house or better shelter the tenters who had been using the parks as of June 22. “I see this motion as getting the details right so that we can proceed in that broad direction that we’ve outlined.”
Coun. Marg Gardiner had proposed adding Irving Park to the list of no-shelter sites on Thursday. Saying the park, bordered by Menzies Street and Michigan Avenue, is a special place in James Bay at the centre of the urban village, Gardiner said the well-used park is often a no-go zone.
