KELOWNA, B.C. — More than 80 residents of a low-income apartment building in Kelowna, B.C., have been told they need to leave over a"significant" risk to life and safety.
BC Housing says recent geotechnical and structural engineering reports show a shoring wall is unstable at the construction site, and a slip"could cause serious structural damage" to the apartment building. BC Housing says new information about the risks of the shoring wall emerged after earlier reports showed construction activity at the UBC-Okanagan site caused cracks in the walls and windows of the nearby apartment building.
