Evacuated residents of limited income apartment moved to Okanagan College

After weeks of uncertainty, moving hotels and losing a neighbour, the residents of Hadgraft Wilson Place will have some stability returned to their lives for the time being.

Large cracks in the Hadgraft building are now visible on both the inside and outside of the apartment. “Our residents have become a tight-knit community in the past year and this opportunity allows them to maintain the support of their friends and neighbours,” said Charisse Daley, executive director of Pathways Ability Society. “Providing some stability about their next few months and having the amenities of homes will hopefully makethings easier while they wait for the remediation of our building and next steps.

Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas said city staff have been working alongside Pathways, BC Housing and local developers to find options and alternatives for the residents.
