The Vancouver park board is apparently about to meet to decide whether to seek a court injunction to remove the squatters occupying the area near the cenotaph (“Veterans demand tenters end Victory Square protest”, July 17). City residents might well ask, “isn’t it against the law to camp in a city park; why get an injunction?” Of course it is against the law, pursuant to sections 3, 10 and 11 of the Parks Control By-Law, and the city doesn’t need an injunction to oust the protesters any more than a fish needs a bicycle.
