A year ago, Kelowna’nın Hadgraft Wilson’s 84 residents were forced to empty their homes indefinitely on the future of living arrangements.
Megan Beckmann is reminiscent of the moment he enters the building because one of the displaced residents surrendered evacuation news.
“The room was watching in tears. It was a very harsh hour,” he said.
Evacuation was given concerns on the ground replacement and cracks found in the foundation of the building. These issues were at the nearby UBC Okanagan camp.
“It often moves and began to travel to difficulties, financial difficulties, and here a year later in a year later and a year later.” Said Beckmann.

In February, UBC properties, negligent, deny all the allegations of harm and damage responded to the civil lawsuit provided by residents.
A month later, a six-man task group representing Kelowna, UBC Properties Confidence and Road Abilities Society, together, will come together to solve the future of the building.
Director of Road Roads Director Alan Gil stressed the importance of this initiative.
“The goal is to plan a way forward really, what looks like,” he said. “Nothing is out of the table in the point of view.”
Beckmann thinks that this efforts should come quickly when acknowledging positive intentions behind the task group.
“It would be good to see such efforts a year ago,” he said. “It feels like a little delayed to get out and says that it does to mediate the harm,” Beckmann said.
Hadgraft Wilson’s location, managed by roads, is a subsidized housing source for a variety of society. Many residents will still return to the building.
“Surely it is undoubtedly one of the choices. Everything is considered and appreciated and hopefully will have something to share in the coming weeks,” he said.
