ST. JOHN'S, N.L. - The mayor of St. John's, N.L., says tents belonging to some of the most persistent Occupy protesters in North America will be removed if demonstrators won't leave a downtown park before Wednesday.
Dennis O'Keefe has asked Occupy protesters in Harbourside Park to leave by midnight.
Otherwise, he says city parks staff will arrive early Wednesday morning to pack up the camp and return items wherever occupiers want them to go.
Demonstrators set up tents in the seaside park last October as the Occupy movement against corporate greed swept the continent.
While other Occupy camps were dismantled by officials in Vancouver, Toronto, Halifax and other cities, St. John's allowed a few diehard protesters to stay all winter.
O'Keefe says he has offered city hall space for Occupy meetings, but it's time to get the park ready for summer events.
