Occupy Montreal protesters started tearing down camp Thursday afternoon after the city asked them to vacate Victoria Square on the spot.
Police posted a second round of eviction notices Thursday morning that were more strongly worded than a previous warning issued the previous night.
Thursday’s notice asked occupiers to vacate “immediately.”
A city spokesman says Montreal wants the campers to leave on their own, but he adds that necessary measures will be taken if required.
“We have indicated that the period of tolerance towards the protesters at the campground is over and that we will apply the city’s existing bylaws,” Gonzalo Nunez said on Thursday. “We’re still working on convincing the protesters to act on a voluntary basis.”
