[Save Stadacona Park @savestadacona]

Yesterday, the bylaw prohibiting shelter in Stadacona Park was passed and went into effect. We are now winding up this Twitter account. We would like to thank all of our supporters and even some of our detractors with whom we found common ground along the way. 1/2

@travelzoomers @Adam_Stirling @BeaconSave @MS_athlete @vicpdcanada @ChiefManak @CityOfVictoria has an accurate daily count for all parks and streets

The Bylaw Supervisors carry a laptop which records GPS location, photos, and names of individuals

@SeeSpringVic additionally has detailed personal files for every homeless person throughout Victoria

We’ve see reports that this sign has since been corrected - thank you @CityOfVictoria

[Save Beacon Hill Park @BeaconSave]

Beacon Hill park is supposed to be off limits to sheltering! @CityOfVictoria What gives?!? @Adam_Stirling

@jpt16 @KittySurprise1 @Dave_Eby @GraceALore @BeaconSave It's a shame that Arbutus Dr. in the park isn't open to the horses carriages and the rest of us, though I did see a horse carriage using the new "horse carriage" lane on Michigan St., lol.

[Bowen @Bowenqldaus]

This is what The Trust was designed to do. A family oasis in our city. No thanks to @Dave_Eby, #helps and @GraceALore. Who through their insufferable ideology almost destroyed our Park. @BeaconSave

[Save Beacon Hill Park @BeaconSave]

Hoping @savestadacona sees relief soon! Same goes for Topaz - are parks are critical public infrastructure that need to be protected, maintained and respected.

[Times Colonist @timescolonist]

Sheltering off limits in Beacon Hill, Central Park, and Stadacona could be next https://t.co/KbzZWx2jJv

[Save Beacon Hill Park @BeaconSave]

@sinclair_geoff Yes.

[Save Beacon Hill Park @BeaconSave]

We are very happy to see this!!!

At Long Last: following a petition that earned tens of thousands of signatures & a citizen crowdfunded legal battle that fought to the BC Court of Appeal and WON, @CityOfVictoria will consider bylaw amendments Thursday to permanently ban sheltering in Beacon Hill. #yyj #bcpoli

The Mobile Youth Services Team (MYST) was instrumental in protecting children at encampments.

Minors were sexually exploited at #CentralPark in @WeAreNorthPark, on Ellice St by #RockBayLanding, @BeaconSave, @savestadacona and elsewhere.

I regularly reported minors to MYST.

[Janice Williams @VoteYYJWilliams]

@mattdellok No qualms that the court you’re playing on removed access to the park for those with disabilities? #HumanRights @ItsYourRightBC @dbwillows @MS_athlete

[Save Beacon Hill Park @BeaconSave]

Parks should be parks, and yes the capital region could use more of them. On that, imagine a park the size of Beacon Hill in Royal Oak? Imagine Royal Oak Golf course as a park and the remainder of the land being dedicated to co-op housing to serve local need....

[Carol T @charliecarolt]

@savestadacona @BeaconSave @CityOfVictoria @Dave_Eby Do something for these neighbours, @CityofVictoria! They are being denied enjoyment of their own home & space due to your negligence with these outdoor encampments. How can they sleep at night listening to this constant yelling? How do u sleep at night being responsible for it?

[Save Stadacona Park @savestadacona]

Again, the F-you is actually directed towards the unhoused and housed people around Stadacona Park. Tx, @CityOfVictoria. Your new playground is going to be a massive success right next to an encampment. People need homes, supports.Parks offer neither. #yyj @dave_eby @kavlon_ravi

"Plan For Pandora" revealed

Let disGrace Lore know that neighbours are upset so that she can avoid them as she did @BeaconSave

[Bowen @Bowenqldaus]

@gfaller6 Nice to see deer in @BeaconSave soaking up the sun in peace. Thank you for those who had the foresight to establish a Trust. And thank you to the BC Supreme Court for upholding it. Despite @Dave_Eby and his housing consultant trying to break it.

[Bowen @Bowenqldaus]

@Dave_Eby doesn't like other people's kids. Building controversial supportive housing in Kits, for drug induced mentally ill, including an injection site, directly across from a school.

He hires a housing consultant who hates kids too.

As #yyj mayor she had to be dragged kicking & screaming to move violent tenters from #BHP located across from South Park School, & after a total of 15 windows got smashed.

She had to get a court order to move them. This sparked a legal battle from @BeaconSave against the #helps governed #yyj. Because she was also challenging the legitimacy of the 1890's Park Trust , & the Park won, only to be appealed by eby in the Supreme Court and he lost the appeal. At tax payers expense.

Why do these politicians hate our children so much?

Why do they put drug induced criminals ahead of the safety of our children? @KevinFalcon

[Bowen @Bowenqldaus]

@somerspsych @CllrHardwick @MikeSmythNews @CKNW He tried challenging a judges decision in the Supreme Court against @BeaconSave and lost. The guy is not invincible. Hope Kitsilano can challenge Eby through the Supreme Court using his proven failure with mental heath and addictions.
