A small group of protesters who identified themselves as members of Occupy Toronto were evicted from the basement of an historic Queen Street building on Monday afternoon, after squatting there since Friday.
Four men left the building at 238 Queen Street West by a back entrance at 3:43 p.m. Staff from the city’s real estate division, escorted by several police officers on bicycles, delivered a notice under the Trespass To Property Act.
A member of the Occupy Toronto food team who only identifies himself by the alias Antonin Smith had hoped the group would become the legitimate lessor of the space. He said the protesters chose to leave peacefully after an eviction notice was slipped under the barricaded door.
