City of Vancouver says it will shut down the municipality’s only sanctioned homeless encampment by early next month .

The Vancouver Park Board says it has set Nov. 7 as the deadline to end sheltering in a special “designated area” in CRAB Park .

The designated area has been in place since 2022 , and was implemented after the city lost a court battle with residents of a homeless camp in the park.

The city said those people have since been offered housing and that it is moving to return the space to park use.
