She said the city needs more shelter spaces and that its emergency warming measures, which see temporary spaces open for people to seek refuge from the cold, are insufficient to respond to the number of people who need somewhere to stay.

He said with shelters being a "temporary pit stop" and social housing taking years to build, there needs to be creative solutions to help people find permanent housing and protect those at risk of becoming homeless.

Rhys Buhl, an organizer with Refus Local, a group that has advocated for unhoused campers, spoke to Daybreak while standing at the encampment and watching the operation unfold. She was part of a group of people who showed up to protest the dismantling.

"These are people that are in a survival situation in an urban environment," she said, adding the city should've provided resources to mitigate those risks.

It is a priority for CBC to create products that are accessible to all in Canada including people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges.

The University does not own any non-campus residences of recognized student, fraternity, or sorority organizations. The City of Oxford has law enforcement responsibility for privately owned non-campus fraternities and sororities. The City of Oxford and the University do, however, have a mutual aid agreement. As a result, Miami police officers may assist the Oxford Police Department with non-campus incidents. Oxford Police also communicate with University officials when non-campus student organizations are engaged in non-campus criminal incidents. In accordance with the Code of Student Conduct, Miami University will address non-campus conduct when the behavior or the presence of the individual or student organization, in the University's sole judgment, impairs, interferes, or obstructs the mission, processes, or functions of the University.

Miami University Police enforce all state and local laws, including underage drinking, controlled substances, and rape or other forms of sexual assault. They are responsible for enforcing laws on all university-owned property and work cooperatively with the Oxford police and other local law enforcement agencies. Mutual aid agreements are in place with several local law enforcement agencies and can be found on the Police Department's mutual aid website. When a major crime occurs, the police chief of either jurisdiction may request the assistance of the other police department.

Jennifer Fakhouri, site co-ordinator at the CAP St-Barnabé shelter on Hochelaga Street, criticized the city for not doing enough to provide housing solutions before clearing the encampment.

He said he would simply set up camp next to the old encampment and that he didn't feel a shelter responded to his needs.

In an interview with CBC News, Montreal police Chief Fady Dagher said his officers were present to provide assistance and the operation had been going smoothly.

Regional campus (Hamilton, Middletown, and Voice of America Learning Center) security is provided by contracted security personnel who are not sworn police officers and do not have arrest authority.  The Hamilton City Police Department has law enforcement authority at the Hamilton campus, the Middletown City Police Department has law enforcement authority at the Middletown campus, the West Chester Police Department has law enforcement authority at the Voice of America Learning Center, the Cincinnati Police Department has law enforcement authority at the Cincinnati campus, and the Police Grand-Ducale, Luxembourg has law enforcement authority at the Luxembourg campus.

Welcome Hall Mission CEO Sam Watts says it's important to avoid "the two extremes" when trying to find a solution for those staying at encampments.

"These people have no alternative in a context where the shelters are full and emergency winter warming shelters are insufficient to respond to demand," he said.

"It saddens me to see all of these people pack up their homes," she said. "At least try to find the human decency to try to find them a place to go, or at least offer some sort of a temporary solution."

"When a person is staying exactly where they are for so many months and so many weeks and you ask them to move … for sure, they're not going to be happy."

Buhl said she and her group have been at the site regularly in the last few weeks. She said the campers were doing the best they could with what they had.

Last month, Quebec's Transport Ministry (MTQ) issued eviction notices to the people who had been living in tents near Morgan Park. The Quebec government owns the stretch of green space along Notre-Dame where the number of encampments has grown since the start of the pandemic.

"The campers, they all know each other and they help each other out. These are extremely organized people that are able to put themselves into a situation where they have the resources in this encampment that they need to survive."

One of those two people, whom CBC News has agreed not to name because he worries for his safety and privacy, said he felt a crushing sense of loss after many of his possessions were taken away in the encampment cleanup.

The Miami University Police also work cooperatively with the Office of Community Standards to enforce Miami's Code of Student Conduct.

"We've got to keep people who are housed currently, but precariously housed, in their place. Because if they are falling into homelessness, then the entries become more than the exits," he said.

"I think that as a people here in Montreal, we are much more compassionate than that, and we need to seek out and find those solutions," said Watts.

He doesn't believe that outdoor encampments should be given the resources to become safer and sustainable. But he also doesn't like seeing heavy machinery being brought in to dismantle the living space of vulnerable people.

At around 7:40 a.m., she said there were about 50 police officers on site forming a perimeter around the camp. There was at least one loader truck and a garbage truck.

The Miami University Police is located in the Police Services Center, 4945 Oxford-Trenton Road (SR 73), near the Ditmer Parking Lot.

Sections of a homeless encampment on Notre-Dame Street East in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough were dismantled Monday.

Miami University Police officers are fully sworn and armed law enforcement officers empowered to investigate alleged criminal activity, search and arrest as authorized by law, and use necessary and reasonable force to enforce the law and protect persons and property. They evaluate reported crimes, conduct investigations, and effect arrests.
