“Your encampment upon the Cattle Point area of Uplands Park in the District of Oak Bay is unlawful. Oak Bay Parks and Beaches Bylaw No. 4672 prohibits camping in Oak Bay parks,” states the notice.

“The District of Oak Bay requires you terminate your encampment of Uplands Park by immediately removing from Uplands Park all tents, shelters and related camping equipment,” adds the notice.

The camp, now a group of roughly 30 people, moved from its latest site – provincial land near Saanich municipal hall – to Oak Bay on Wednesday evening.
