Brief narrative On the morning of September 24, 2002, 125 people who had established a makeshift community on disused industrial land on the edge of the Toronto harbour were, after a long and well-publicized struggle, finally evicted. Located on a site that falls within the area being studied as part of Toronto’s extensive waterfront redevelopment plans, Tent City had been occupied since 17 people pitched tents there in January 1998.\r\nFor further detail:\r\nhttp://www.canadianarchitect.com/issues/ISarticle.asp?id=74981&story_id=CA133167&issue=11012002&PC=&RType=
