Corrections [1/13/2021 18:00] :
A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that the playground at Anisq’Oyo’ Park was closed by the afternoon of December 21, 2020 following the evacuation. This article has been corrected to reflect that the evacuation and cleaning took place throughout December 21-23, 2020, and clarify that only certain areas of the park, including the playground, were closed for restoration.
The previous version of this article incorrectly stated that the encampment at the People’s Park “continued to exist and saw an increase in occupancy”. This article has been corrected to reflect that the camping site at the People’s Park was only established after the evacuation to accommodate those who cannot secure housing at the temporary shelter.
The previous version of this article incorrectly stated that the team carrying out cleaning at Anisq’Oyo’ Park consisted of volunteers. This article has been corrected to reflect that the team consisted of IVRPD employees and contractors, and no volunteers.
The previous version of this article referred to the content in one of the photos as “A notice posted on a tree requesting all the occupants of Anisq’Oyo’ Park to move out”. The article has been revised to better reflect that the notice shown is one of the several notices posted at the site.
