It looks as if the "Occupy Halifax" movement may not be going quietly into the night.

In a late afternoon news release, the mayor gave protesters a deadline to leave Grand Parade: 5:00 PM on November sixth.

With Remembrance Day coming-up, there are growing concerns the ongoing protest could have an impact on the traditional services there.

The Atlantic Jewish Council also holds its annual Dignity Day ceremony at the site on the ninth.

Demonstrators told CTV News they're unhappy with the way the situation is being handled.

"We were delivered a document without any communication prior to this. We weren't even consulted to see what preparations we had done pre-November 11th", Angele Bourgeois said.

"If they show us respect, we'll show them respect", added protester Zach Babineau.

"But if they ask us to move our tents for one day of the two days they use this square, then some people are not going to like it."

Later, in a phone-call to CTV News, Mayor Peter Kelly said protesters would be offered a new location in the Halifax Commons to set-up camp.

That was not indicated in the earlier news release from city hall.

Kelly said demonstrators have been very peaceful and respectful so far, and he expects that will continue.

He did not say what action he'll take if the tents remain up after the sixth.

The protest began October 15th as a show of solidarity with demonstrators camped-out in the financial district of New York.
