Niagara Region’s Council Leaves Door Open To Using Extraordinary Measures To Rip Up Homeless Encampments

A Brief Note from Niagara At Large reporter/publisher Doug Draper

Posted January 24th, 2025 on Niagara At Large

A bid  by St. Catharines Regional Councillor Haley Bateman to have Niagara’s Regional Council oppose use of a ‘not-withstanding’ clause in Canadian law that some municipalities across Ontario, including Welland, Niagara Falls and St. Catharines, are now set to employ to over-ride the constitutional rights of homeless people and tear apart their encampments was turned down by the Council this January 23rd.

Niagara At Large will post more details on this issue in a news commentary early this coming week.

    Shame on them. Ripping up encampments does not solve the homelessness issue. It makes it worse, particularly with this deep freeze. I know there are other deleterious effects of living near a tent city as I lived in the south end of St. Catharines for most of my life.
