They released a video filmed by one of the paramedics working/living at the Victor and Weber paramedic building that showed multiple rats crawling in and out of one individuals tent/garbage pile around it. They are also concerned about rat infestations out on Erbs Road now that the region is trying to move the homeless to the garbage dump: https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/paramedic-u...-1.6285151
The proposed managed encampment is indeed on Erb St W, but it is not at the garbage dump, any more than Costco or Shoppers Drug Mart is.
