Summary
Prince George is seeing more unfamiliar faces downtown, sparking rumors of a mass relocation from Vancouver ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup—but police and frontline workers say it’s not about relocation at all. The real story? Warmer weather and the recent shutdown of the Moccasin Flats encampment, which housed nearly 100 people, have pushed folks to new spots. The mayor reached out to RCMP, who confirmed it’s just seasonal movement, not a coordinated move. Advocacy groups agree—no evidence of forced relocation, just summer patterns. Police also note that increased visibility of people sleeping outdoors, combined with recent fires, is affecting public safety perceptions, and are proposing 24/7 bylaw enforcement and better outreach to help.
