Hadgraft Wilson Place will see residents evacuate over the next couple days
All Monique Saebels knows at this point is that she’ll be living in a hotel for the next week.
“Our building has been amazing,” Saebels said about Pathways, the organizations overseeing the apartments. “They’re dealing with all of us going through our emotions and I’ve got an older mother…so I have to worry about what’s going to happen to both of us.” The Kelowna woman lives on the fifth floor of the building. She said they started noticing cracks in the building back in December and just last week another tenant informed her that her balcony was starting to lean.
A few cracks are visible from the exterior of the building with a large crack in the concrete in front of the parking garage. The garage itself has uneven, cracked floors and the walls and support pillars are covered in sensors to track any movement.A downtown Kelowna apartment building is being evacuated, as construction of the new University of B.C. Okanagan downtown campus is wreaking havoc on nearby properties.
