Occupiers have been ordered to remove tents, structures and belongings from the Vancouver Art Gallery by 2 p.m. Monday, but participants insist the movement will continue -- possibly with "flash occupations" around the city.

At a Tuesday morning press conference, protester Suresh Fernando described the future of Occupy Vancouver as "bright," even as city staff prepared to move in and clear the encampment under a B.C. Supreme Court injunction order.

Fernando said the movement will move into "Phase 2" – which could involve temporary occupations at SkyTrain stations, malls, coffee shops and public spaces -- regardless of what happens at the art gallery.

"Future occupations may take many different forms; some community based, others more disruptive, so to speak," Fernando said.

Many protesters have removed their tents but others say they will refuse to comply with the injunction. There is word that a secret replacement camp location will be revealed shortly before authorities arrive.

A message on the Occupy Vancouver website urges people to bring cameras down to document any possible confrontations with police or city staff, and the BC Civil Liberties Association says it will have legal observers on site.

With the clock ticking on the downtown camp in its current form, protester Eric Hamilton-Smith called on the municipal, provincial and federal governments to replace the services protesters have been providing.

"As of nine o'clock this morning, there were zero available shelter spaces in Vancouver for men or women and a huge waiting list for social housing," Hamilton-Smith said.

Meanwhile, protesters claim volunteers have been serving 1,000 meals and helping 100 patients per day at the encampment.

Hamilton-Smith said about 30 people described as "street homeless" have also been getting shelter at the camp – an unexpected development for many participants.

"While we pursued our political goals we ended up housing , feeding, caring for and socializing people that the current system has failed," he said, re-iterating that the work of Occupy Vancouver protesters was far from over.

"We will continue to remind you that the gap between the rich and poor is growing faster in Canada than in the United States, and we will continue to remind you that it's not good enough to have a vote every three or four years," he said.

"Democracy, the rule of the people, is hard work. We invite you to join us."
