As Kok wipes her eyes, she talks of the work she and her husband lovingly put into their home over the years, including new windows, siding, a roof and extensive interior renovations.

Unable to find space in any local parks, Kok was forced to sell.

Motioning toward her home — now secured on the back of a transport truck — she takes some comfort knowing it’ll be a safe and loving home for the family set to move in once it reaches its new destination.

But, for now, it’s a bitter pill to swallow.

“On the other hand, we’re also very lucky because we were able to sell it,” she said.

“We were able to get out with being able to pay the mortgage off, but not everybody here is in that position — they have mortgages they can’t pay off because the money the city’s offering doesn’t even come close.”

Kok’s situation has eluded many of her neighbours, as their units were too old to either be safely moved or accepted by other parks, which often put a maximum age on trailers they allow to be moved in.

It’s a familiar dilemma for 82-year-old Rudy Prediger, whose home faces the double whammy of being both too old and too big.

“Nobody wants a double-wide,” he said, sitting in his nostalgia-packed living room crammed full of memories from an eventful life.

“Most parks won’t take double-wides. They take up too much space.”

With only six more weeks before deciding to leave or demolish, many say neither is an option.

“They gave us a list of where we can go — know what’s on that list? The homeless shelter, the Mustard Seed . . . they think we’re all homeless here,” Prediger said.
