After another tent encampment was dismantled by police and fire crews Tuesday, some city officials are wondering where Regina’s most vulnerable have to go.
“I don’t know what the plan is, if we have one,” said Ward 6 Councilor Dan Leblanc.
One month ago, a large tent encampment at City Hall was dismantled.

“We just keep finding other places to live,” she added.
Others who lived at the encampment have found shelter. But many still wander the streets.
