Demonstrators are moving their tents out of Halifax’s Grand Parade for two ceremonies, but they vow to return after Remembrance Day.
Participants of Occupy Nova Scotia say they’re leaving out of respect for a Dignity Day ceremony on Nov. 9 and a Remembrance Day ceremony on Nov. 11.
They plan to hold a rally and cleanup next Sunday and be in Victoria Square two days later.
Michael Anthony told CBC News they reached consensus after much debate. He considers the move a trade-off.
“We’re here, we’re established and people are supporting us, and a lot of people might not support us if we leave because they’ll see that as a compromise. But if we don’t leave, a lot more people won’t support us,” he said Monday.
