City of Burnaby issues eviction notice to protesters at Kinder Morgan terminal
BURNABY, B.C. — The City of Burnaby is evicting protesters from a make-shift camp set up outside one of Kinder Morgan’s terminals, citing fire safety and public health concerns.
City manager Lambert Chu says the city is worried about how the footprint of the site, dubbed Camp Cloud, has grown to include a two-level wood structure, additional tents and even shower facilities.
“We’ve been trying to work with the camp occupants and seek compliance with no success and that’s why we had to take the step of issuing the eviction notice,” Chu said.
The Metro Vancouver city issued a 72-hour eviction notice Wednesday.
