Brittany Littlejohn and Robbie Wallace are asking the B.C. Supreme Court to quash orders issued by the park board to close CRAB Park camp.

The petition argues that park board is n’t legally justified to close the camp because residents have a Charter-protected right to shelter outdoors.

Littlejohn said the camp felt like her home, and when her tent and belongings were removed on July 1 , it was a “really emotionally tough time” Wallace had lived in the park on and off for about three years .

Wallace and Littlejohn had shared a tent and had a vegetable garden.

The city intends to oppose the petition, the city said in an email from a communications staffer Godfrey Tait .

Lawyers for the petitioners said they had no additional comment.

The petitioners' lawyers have no further comment on the city's decision to oppose it.

The Vancouver park board said it was 'abiding by the ruling'.
