ANTI-POVERTY GROUPS TO ATTEND CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO OPPOSE PROPOSED BYLAW AMENDMENT

August 31, 2010, Victoria – Representatives from four nonprofit organizations are holding a press conference to oppose the City of Victoria’s proposed amendment to the streets and traffic bylaw.

The amendment, which bans camping on boulevards and medians, would displace the City residents tenting at night on the boulevard of Pandora Street’s 900-block.
