UPDATE: UBCO build evacuates Kelowna apartments

Hadgraft Wilson Place will see residents evacuate over the next couple days

UPDATE 5 p.m.

All Monique Saebels knows at this point is that she’ll be living in a hotel for the next week.

Saebels is one of dozens of residents that is being evacuated from Hadgraft Wilson Place as construction of the new University of B.C. Okanagan downtown Kelowna campus continues to damage neighbouring properties.

The notice came in the form of a building meeting with Mayor Tom Dyas, UBCO, and Pathways Abilities Society.
