Journalism students from the University of King's College produced coverage of the protests and controversial eviction:

Bill McEwen wrote a long-form narrative piece that follows John Thibeau, one of the protestors, throughout the movement. It explores what the movement was trying to accomplish, the street kids who found a community, and how Thibeau was able to make the protests and street kids work together.

Nic Bergeron was at the eviction on Nov. 11 and shot a mini-doc (with credit to McEwen) that gives a look at what transpired that day between police and protesters when there were multiple arrests made and allegations of violence from police.
