The Justice For Our Stolen Children protest camp in Wascana Park has been ordered to vacate the land near the Legislative Building.

In a decision released Friday, Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Ysanne Wilkinson wrote that the protest campers are “restrained from unlawfully using the Land or any land within Wascana Centre … in contravention of The Wascana Centre Bylaws.” That means the camp is not allowed to establish or maintain a camp, or erect or maintain a tent or other shelter for use as lodging within Wascana Centre.

In an emailed statement, Ken Cheveldayoff, minister in charge of the Provincial Capital Commission (PCC), said the government is pleased with the court’s decision.

“We expect the Justice for our Stolen Children Camp will abide by the Court Order and remove the tepees and other structures from Wascana Centre within a reasonable time. If they fail to obey the court order, the order gives the Wascana Centre Authority and the police the full authority to remove these structures,” Cheveldayoff said.
