The City of Regina says it has determined there are no biohazards in the fenced-off portion of the city hall courtyard where an encampment was located earlier this year.
The City of Regina says it has determined there are no biohazards in the fenced-off portion of the city hall courtyard where an encampment was located earlier this year.
Initially, the city said the fence was in place because the lawn needed to be replaced because of a potential biohazard.
The area has been fenced off since July when the encampment was dismantled.
After initially believing the area was contaminated, city manager Nikki Anderson said they now know that is not the case.
However, the fence will remain in place until the lawn is fully restored.
It’s a project the city says it is not currently prioritizing and therefore could not give a timeline for how long the fence could remain in place.
“The fence is not there because of biohazards, Anderson said. “The fence is there right now because we are not prioritizing it over other planned work in the summer,” she added.
