Protesters at Occupy Victoria have begun tearing down their tent city, anticipating that the city will be successful in its bid for an injunction.

Police and firefighters supervised the dismantling of the encampment's kitchen and removal of wooden pallets and some tents at Centennial Square Wednesday ahead of a court hearing scheduled for the next day.

Protester Donald Cameron told CTV News that Occupy participants are resigned to the idea that the city will win its bid to evict them, and they want to get started on cleanup as soon as possible.

"We know the injunction will be granted, so we're just making headway for that," he said.

"The wind has gone out of the sails. We're just going to re-group and come back stronger in the spring."

Cameron, who has been a part of the protest since it began on Oct. 15, said he's "hurt" that the demonstration has ended this way, with many of the early supporters abandoning the movement over the last month.

"I just wish that the people that are the heart and soul of this movement didn't give up so easily," he said.

The camp's media centre will remain at the park, Cameron said, and he's hopeful that general assembly meetings will still be held.

He added that members of the public shouldn't be afraid to visit the park while the last stragglers from the protest are still there, and invited people to bring their families to check out Occupy's message against financial inequality and corporate greed.

"We're not here as your enemy. We're here to stand up for your rights as well as ours," he said.
