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.

Nicholson says he, like many others in the neighbourhood, would like an extension to the eviction notice. An has garnered nearly 1,500 signatures. He said 91裸聊视频減retty much everybody91裸聊视频� in the park shares the same view.

91裸聊视频淭here are people like Victoria, myself, Nicole, Geoff, Eddie and his wife down at the end91裸聊视频� Stacey, Mike, we91裸聊视频檙e all on disability91裸聊视频� now we91裸聊视频檙e all struggling here to figure out what we91裸聊视频檙e going to do, and where we91裸聊视频檙e going to go91裸聊视频� I just don91裸聊视频檛 know what to do.91裸聊视频�

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

91裸聊视频淲e knew it was coming, but we didn91裸聊视频檛 expect it to be coming so soon. They had sent us a notice on the 6th of October, stating we wouldn91裸聊视频檛 be getting our four-month notice for a few months. And then all of a sudden, 21 days later, it91裸聊视频檚 in our mailbox.91裸聊视频�

Nicholson knows those watching from afar may not understand.

91裸聊视频淚 read the comments online as well, people are saying, 91裸聊视频榳ell you had ten years to find a place91裸聊视频�. But they don91裸聊视频檛 understand that the rents in here are so affordable91裸聊视频� where am I going to find a two-bedroom place for what I91裸聊视频檓 paying right now?91裸聊视频�

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.

91裸聊视频淚 broke my back, right91裸聊视频� I91裸聊视频檝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.91裸聊视频�

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 he91裸聊视频檚 forced to sleep outside.

91裸聊视频淚 had to, I just had to pick up something. If there91裸聊视频檚 enough room in the back for a little double air mattress, and me. My son91裸聊视频檚 going to be over at his mom91裸聊视频檚.91裸聊视频�

On Oct. 29 Westcorp said a proposed extension to the eviction notice, 91裸聊视频渞emains to be seen.91裸聊视频� With regards to the petition receiving nearly 1,500 signatures by Oct. 30, Westcorp was not immediately available for comment.

91裸聊视频淲e know it91裸聊视频檚 coming, we know we91裸聊视频檝e got to go, but all we91裸聊视频檙e asking for is a couple of extra months so we can get our affairs in order91裸聊视频� a couple of months, that91裸聊视频檚 all,91裸聊视频� said Nicholson.
