The MLA for Courtenay-Comox said he has met with residents of the Queneesh Trailer Park who have been given notice the park will close in early 2028.
The trailer park is owned by K’ómoks First Nation and is located on reserve land in Comox. The First Nation intends to use the site to develop housing for its members.
In a video posted to social media, Brennan Day said several residents have lived there for decades and the situation amounts to displacement for many of them.
Courtenay-Comox MLA Brennan Day comments:
“In many cases, relocation isn’t actually possible,” Day said. “Many of these homes can’t be moved. Even if they could, there are virtually no available manufactured home sites on Vancouver Island to put them.”
Day said the matter falls outside provincial jurisdiction as it involves the First Nation, residents and the federal government.
He said he plans to continue meeting with residents to ensure they are aware of their options and is encouraging all parties to work toward a solution that would reduce harm, particularly for those who are most vulnerable.
