The K’ómoks First Nation said Queneesh Trailer Park will close in early 2028 as the nation moves ahead with plans to build housing for its members.

Tenants have been informed the park, located on KFN reserve land, is set to close Jan. 31, 2028.

KFN said the landlord is offering to waive monthly pad rental fees during the next two years to help residents put more money toward securing new housing.

In a statement, the First Nation said the trailer park is more than 50 years old and would require major upgrades. It added reclaiming the land will help address urgent housing needs for members, including those currently experiencing housing insecurity.

The First Nation said the project is part of broader planning efforts aimed at supporting long-term housing and services for the community.

One resident who contacted Vista Radio and wished to remain anonymous said many people living in the trailer park are elderly and vulnerable and are suffering due to the impending closure.
