CLARIFICATION (June 28, 2021, 1:45PM): This episode says the people living at the Trinity Bellwoods Park encampment were moved to temporary housing. Activists say that only some were moved to temporary housing while many have just moved do different parks. Toronto Mayor John Tory has since said “most” were offered hotel rooms; the City claims to have only moved 14 out of (by their count) 31 people, and those 14 went to “either a shelter or hotel program.”
