For some time, a property in the 200-block of Nickel Road in Kelowna has been a topic of conversation around town.
On Saturday (Sept. 17), members of the neighbourhood got together for a peaceful protest to come with more ideas of how to handle the house that makes the neighbourhood feel unsafe.

The house has been a subject to many police visits and incidents for more than a year, including an extensive police presence just a couple days ago.

The people in the house also have a generator on all throughout the day and night everyday.
Andrew and the rest of the neighbourhood were sitting across the street in protest and made signs. Many cars that drove past honked and rolled their windows down to voice their support of the protest.
On the other side of the street, the people in the house picked up on the protest and cleaned up the front of the house.
