Dozens of residents of the Delta Mobile Home Park in Penticton, B.C., have been ordered to leave the properties by October 1.
The trailer park is a collection of manufactured homes, recreation vehicles, and smaller homes located near Skaha Lake on Penticton Indian Band reserve land owned by a member of the band.
Some of the residents are seniors on fixed incomes who have called the area home for more than a decade.
“It’s really, really difficult to know where to go,” said Georgine Melatini who has been living at the park with her husband Raymond since 1994.
“Here we are in our late 70s and we could be homeless.”
