At the end of, February 2021, Edmonton-based developer Westcorp plans to begin demolishing the 44 homes that remain at the complex in order to erect a large condo development.

香蕉视频直播淭here are people like Victoria, myself, Nicole, Geoff, Eddie and his wife down at the end香蕉视频直播� Stacey, Mike, we香蕉视频直播檙e all on disability香蕉视频直播� now we香蕉视频直播檙e all struggling here to figure out what we香蕉视频直播檙e going to do, and where we香蕉视频直播檙e going to go香蕉视频直播� I just don香蕉视频直播檛 know what to do.香蕉视频直播�

He said the timing of the eviction notice came as a surprise.

香蕉视频直播淲e knew it was coming, but we didn香蕉视频直播檛 expect it to be coming so soon. They had sent us a notice on the 6th of October, stating we wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 be getting our four-month notice for a few months. And then all of a sudden, 21 days later, it香蕉视频直播檚 in our mailbox.香蕉视频直播�

Nicholson knows those watching from afar may not understand.

香蕉视频直播淚 read the comments online as well, people are saying, 香蕉视频直播榳ell you had ten years to find a place香蕉视频直播�. But they don香蕉视频直播檛 understand that the rents in here are so affordable香蕉视频直播� where am I going to find a two-bedroom place for what I香蕉视频直播檓 paying right now?香蕉视频直播�

He echoed what Fox previously said, saying the affordable housing in Kelowna comes with one to two-year waiting lists.

In addition to the low availability of affordable housing, Nicholson says moving during the winter would be a nightmare for people with disabilities, like himself.

A severe back injury has made it difficult for Nicholson to perform tasks during the winter. He said outdoor activities are next to impossible, should they last more than five minutes.

香蕉视频直播淚 broke my back, right香蕉视频直播� I香蕉视频直播檝e got titanium in my back, so I have a really hard time being out in the cold... If I do five minutes of work outside in the cold, my back is killing me for two days. I can barely walk.香蕉视频直播�

A single father, on disability income, with a disabled child, Nicholson is out of ideas.

He says he picked up a van from a late friend, in case he香蕉视频直播檚 forced to sleep outside.

香蕉视频直播淚 had to, I just had to pick up something. If there香蕉视频直播檚 enough room in the back for a little double air mattress, and me. My son香蕉视频直播檚 going to be over at his mom香蕉视频直播檚.香蕉视频直播�

On Oct. 29 Westcorp said a proposed extension to the eviction notice, 香蕉视频直播渞emains to be seen.香蕉视频直播� With regards to the petition receiving nearly 1,500 signatures by Oct. 30, Westcorp was not immediately available for comment.

香蕉视频直播淲e know it香蕉视频直播檚 coming, we know we香蕉视频直播檝e got to go, but all we香蕉视频直播檙e asking for is a couple of extra months so we can get our affairs in order香蕉视频直播� a couple of months, that香蕉视频直播檚 all,香蕉视频直播� said Nicholson.
