pivot(The Canadian Press) A trial is set to begin in BC Supreme court today arguing for the right of homeless people to occupy public space.
The Pivot Legal Society is challenging three city bylaws in Abbotsford, that have been used to displace homeless residents from public areas.
Pivot says the city’s actions are an infringement on Canadians’ constitutional rights.
According to Pivot, homeless people in Abbotsford say inadequate shelter space means public areas are one of the few options available to them.
