BC Civil Liberties Association sues Vancouver over ban on daytime shelters, citing Charter rights.

The BC Civil Liberties Association has sued the City of Vancouver over its ban on daytime outdoor shelters, claiming it violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The lawsuit, joined by three individuals, argues the ban endangers health and safety, particularly for those with disabilities and gender-diverse individuals, by removing shelters and personal belongings daily. The city permits temporary shelters in parks only from dusk to dawn.
