Overview

• Toronto police said six people were arrested for trespassing on Wednesday as officers assisted city staff in removing new tents at Dufferin Grove Park.
• City officials said tents reappeared after a Friday clearance and that trespass notices were issued on Saturday before the latest operation.
• Staff remained at the site offering shelter spaces and other supports, with fencing and security set up around the cleared area.
• The City of Toronto reported more than 70 referrals to shelter and nine people moved into housing following months of enhanced services at the park.
• Encampment residents and supporters said repeated removals undercut ongoing negotiations since Sept. 12 and push people to less visible locations, with one resident offered a hotel room only in north Etobicoke.
