The Vancouver Park Board has voted NOT to kick out the homeless people camping in Oppenheimer Park.
Chair of the board, Stuart McKinnon say this is a bigger issue about homelessness across Vancouver.
He wants the city to create a multi jurisdictional homeless tasks force-but not necessarily take over the park.
The city asked for the tents and structures to be cleared last month, but about 40 tents and dozens of people still live there.
