The new buffers would see encampments not allowed within 150 metres of any elementary school and within 100 metres of any private residential property or sports fields.

A long debate at a city committee Tuesday afternoon ended in London’s new encampment strategy being approved with some changes to “no-go” zones.

An amendment from Ward 7 Coun. Corrine Rahman would have increased the distance between encampments and schools to 250 metres. “Fifty from an elementary school or a water park, that’s nowhere near sufficient,” said Ward 8 Coun. Steve Lehman, who suggested deferring the matter to allow staff to study different distances.‘Flesh-eating bacteria’ disease spreads in Japan, killing some in 2 days
