Nuttall called for provincial support earlier this month after declaring a state of emergency over the encampments, citing concerns over public safety.  

On Facebook, Nuttall said he and Ford specifically toured Milligan’s Pond, and discussed the need for municipalities to enforce bylaws and address issues like mental health, addiction and affordable housing.

Nuttall added that the situation in Barrie requires co-ordination between all levels of government.

The city has cleared some encampments, but Nuttall said it could take months to clear those remaining.
