For municipalities in Ontario:

The Court of Appeal declined to provide further guidance or opine on Section 7 of the Charter as it related to encampments.

The Court wrote that the errors in the Hamilton encampment decision are such that the Court of Appeal cannot provide further analysis. #onmuni

In the Hamilton encampment bylaw decision, Ontario's Court of Appeal states the Hamilton Superior Court decision was full of errors, the Hamilton justice incorrectly "perpetuates myths and stereotypes," and the decision is such that the ONCA cannot use it to deal with broader matters. #onmuni #yhmcc

Had the opportunity to chat with new Association of Municipalities of Ontario President Riley Brockington and get his thoughts on the challenges facing #LocalGov today. And just how busy his travel schedule is going to get. #ONMuni
