City crews clear Millennium Park HANNA PETERSEN

Citizen staff

The City of Prince George cleared Millennium Park on Monday. The encampment’s occupants were required to vacate the park, along with any personal property they wished to retain, pursuant to a notice of trespass posted by the city on Aug. 31. An evacuation order from Prince George Fire Rescue Services Chief Cliff Warner was also posted, effective September 8. The city says individuals remaining at the park were given the opportunity to collect any possessions still

on the site and any material remaining which was identified by staff as being of potential use or value has been placed on the adjacent sidewalk, and was available for collection until Tuesday. Millennium Park has now been fenced, and will remain closed to the public until further notice, while options for remediation are considered, the city said. Volunteers spent part of the weekend helping encampment residents relocate to the Lower Patricia encampment, known as Moccasin Flats, which is protected by a court order.
