Occupy Vancouver's new tent city at the multi-level complex known as Robson Square is facing eviction after the Supreme Court granted an injunction to the Province giving authority to end the encampment. Canada. 22nd November 2011

Occupy Vancouver's new tent city at the multi-level complex known as Robson Square is facing eviction this afternoon after the B.C. Supreme Court granted an injunction to the Province earlier today to end the encampment.
After re-locating to the Square, which is around the corner from the previous protest site, the protesters set up dozens of tents in front of the entrances to the Law Courts and the Asia Pacific Business Centre. A spokesman for APBC said they were forced to cancel all their meetings today.
Meanwhile, City of Vancouver crews were busy cleaning up the previous Occupy location in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery.
