The encampment stretches to both ends of the park - this section near the Scadding Court Community Centre has about a dozen security, police and other officials, some residents are starting to take down their tarps and tents

A small UHaul has been brought in to help people move belongings

Police have also been flying a drone to survey the area

Residents have been handing belongings over the fence to people on the other side, the worry is if they leave the fenced in area they will not be allowed back in

Heavy machinery working along the Bathurst Street side of the enclosure, large blue dumpster in middle of the field for debris, police, security, and city staff and some resident inside the enclosure
