Residents of a homeless encampment in Guelph, Ont. have been given a bit more time to vacate the area under the Hanlon Expressway, as an eviction from the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has been extended.
On Monday, several police officers and MTO bylaw officers could be seen at the encampment in Guelph. Some residents began to pack their belongings.
The three people still living at the encampment wouldn’t call it luxurious, but they do call it home.
“All we hear is [the] road,” said resident Dave Dobbs with a laugh.
Dobbs said the notice is “a little ridiculous.”
The residents were given very little warning, with the eviction notice being posted on Wednesday, stipulating they had by the end of the day Sunday, to move out.
