🔥🔥 Hot question of the day 🔥🔥

It’s @SimiSara980’s 🔥 question of the day:

Surrey City Council votes tonight on whether to effectively ban people from sleeping in RVs and campers on city streets. 

Would you support this ban? #SurreyBC

Yes, sleep elsewhere

No, what’s the harm?

Surrey council to consider ban on sleeping overnight in RVs, vans on city streets

Surrey city council is set to consider a proposal tonight that would effectively make it illegal to sleep overnight in RVs and other large vehicles on city streets.

The staff report recommends council amend the city’s bylaws to ban people from occupying a motorhome or camper on Surrey roads between 10pm and 6am.

If approved, those vehicles would also not be allowed to park for more than three hours outside public parks, schools, churches or homes between 6am and 10pm, and cannot be occupied during that time, either.

In its report, staff note the proposal is meant to address “growing concerns from residents and businesses” and motivate people living in RVs and campers “to move into suitable housing.”

But one City Councillor is against this proposal.

Meet the man who spotted a rare bird in the Victoria area this weekend

Bird enthusiasts in the Victoria area report seeing a rare yellow-browed warbler, which has never been seen before in Canada, and only once in North America outside of Alaska.

The migratory warbler typically spends its winters in the tropical climates of south Asia, and sometimes in Western Europe.

The bird was spotted Friday in an area known as Panama Flats and on Saturday morning about 100 birders went looking for it -- which to their delight made another brief appearance.
