Homeless Encampments

[Matt Tyo]

We’re noticing encampments popping up across our municipality and have some fire safety concerns associated with some of the activities occurring, such as open burning close to tents.

Wondering if any departments have any plans/S.O.G.’s dealing with this situation or how they’re being dealt with.

Thanks.

HI Matt:

Brant has nothing in place to deal with this outside of our open air burn bylaw. It would however, likely devolve into a more political issue, that I would likely stay away from.
