The residents of Silversea – the condominium complex beside the old Travelodge property on the Old Island Highway – are concerned over the possibility of the now-vacant hotel next door becoming a low-income housing facility.
The province purchased the Travelodge property as part of a plan to create 18 new low-income housing facilities province-wide. The Campbell River facility will house 40 units of housing for low-income individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and for people who suffer from mental health and substance use issues, according to a release from BC Housing.
