In a significant escalation in the battle with homeless citizens, the City of Abbotsford quietly erected ‘No Trespassing’ signs on every piece of municipal property from the park at the corner of Gladys and George Ferguson Way all the way down to the other side of the BC Hydro lands so that those being evacuated have nowhere in the immediate area to go without opening themselves up to criminal charges for trespassing.
