Improved compensation for tenants of manufactured home parks New compensation for tenants of manufactured home parks facing eviction will officially take effect on Wednesday, June 6, 2018.

This compensation is denied to the residents of Queneesh Mobile Home Park in the #ComoxValley of #VancouverIsland because we live on First Nations land. It's like we can see BC from where we live, but don't actually live there.

Which is odd since we pay BC taxes.
