Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart will be holding a press conference on Wednesday to give an update on the city’s efforts to remove structures in the Downtown Eastside.

Along with Stewart, Vancouver city manager Paul Mochrie, Vancouver Fire Rescue Chief Karen Fry and BC Housing’s Dale McMann will also be available for questions.

The press conference is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. local time.

The controversial Hastings Street encampment has been a hotbed for discussion lately, with many concerns laid out by those living in the area, those experiencing homelessness, as well as the city and Vancouver Fire Rescue Services.

Previously, Vancouver Fire Rescue issued a fire safety order to clear the street of structures.
