Winnipeg is about to put new limits on where people who are homeless can sleep outdoors —restrictions that could change the face of encampments across the city.

As of Nov. 17, people will no longer be allowed to set up tents within 50 metres of playgrounds, splash pads, pools or daycares, or within 30 metres of transit stops, bridges and docks.

Not everyone at city hall supports the approach.

Fort Rouge-East Fort Garry Coun. Sherri Rollins — whose ward includes the Mostyn Park area — says the rules may simply push people from one place to another.

"You can see that migration … whether along the Assiniboine [River], or they've now moved behind every single business in Osborne Village," Rollins said.
