In Sarnia, the Rainbow Park homeless camp is now empty, with everyone moved to shelters or housing. The city’s keeping the fences and guards up for now to stop new camps from popping up. Steve Henschel, a city spokesperson, says they’ll tweak their plan as needed while enforcing a strict no-camping rule near schools, sports fields, and homes. Sarnia’s teaming up with Lambton County for housing help, but the park’s security costs—over $37,000 last month—keep piling up, with no exact future price tag yet.
