After the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure issued two trespass notices, a homeless camp in Saanich packed up again and headed for Oak Bay.

The camp, now a group of roughly 30 people, made the move to Cattle Point in Uplands Park, around 7 p.m. Wednesday moving their belongings with two U-Haul trucks.
