If this land was not first nations would this get the attention? It sucks but is not much different than folks in an apartment who have that sold. At least in this scenario you got 2 years notice, and have your rental fees waived. It is shockingly decent of K’omoks First Nation to give early warning and a financial mitigation. Most owners would, and have not done this in the past.
We’ve come full circle. The natives are now kicking the white people off their land lol
But in all seriousness, I had to do my research. I thought this was a case of the feds recently giving the land to the First Nations, who were now unfairly booting out the long-standing tennants. But no, they knowingly moved and rented land from the First Nations who have owned the land for many decades. I feel for them, but this is no different than if a private owner was selling their land.
K’omoks is acting like any developer owning the land would do (which they are). Trailer parks getting developed routinely comes up in news articles (as does low income rental appartments getting developed) as it displaces a large amount of at-risk individuals.
Usually, there is an onus put on the developer to attempt to re-house the displaced residents (in this case the leaseholders). Because its occuring on first nation land it will be up to the first nation and the federal government to come up with support for the residents.
