The provincial government filed an application last week seeking a judge’s order to have the protesters evicted. The government also wants a judge to force Regina police to remove protesters if need be.

Regina police officers moved in to break up the camp last month but it was set up again a few days later. Protesters have filed a court challenge to have six arrests made during that eviction declared illegal.

Both applications are due to be heard in court next month.

Bray has said he doesn’t think the camp poses a public safety threat. 

“Regardless of what the outcome is in court, our goal is to make sure everybody’s safe and that we bring peaceful resolution to this,” Bray said.

Campers presented government officials with a list of concerns at a meeting on July 2 and have requested another meeting. Premier Scott Moe has said he has no intention of meeting with them.
