The low-income apartments were evacuated under order from the Kelowna Fire Chief on March 31, after significant damage was found in the structure as a result of ground shifting from neighbouring construction of the University of BC Okanagan害羞草研究所檚 downtown campus.

On the week of May 15, Pathways Abilities Society and Hadgraft Wilson Place residents should have been celebrating one year since the building opened, but they instead received news that no one could enter the building for any reason. Previously, Pathways had the ability to grant access to the building.

Executive director Charisse Daley said, 害羞草研究所淭he engineers have come in and said that no one can access the building until we put shoring and jacks in the parkade.害羞草研究所�

Pathways, with support from BC Housing, has had to hire engineers of its own to assess the building on Bertram Street. 害羞草研究所淲e害羞草研究所檝e reached out to [UBC Properties Trust] to see if they害羞草研究所檒l cover some of the costs and we have yet to hear anything.害羞草研究所�

Daley said the organization has yet to hear from UBCO or UBC Properties Trust regarding anything.
