In what can only be described as good corporate citizenship, Algoma Power has informed residents at River Valley Park in Aweres Township that the power will continue until October 30th, 2018.

Readers of saultonline’s continuing coverage of River Valley Park will remember Monday’s story that shared the details of a notice homeowners had received last week from Algoma Power. Hydro to RVP was slated for discontinuation today.

Superior Media can confirm that homeowners will, in fact, continue to receive power up to and including October 30th, 2018.

Peggy Lund, Algoma Power Supervisor – Customer Service told Superior Media, “Algoma Power has worked with Social Services to find a solution to ensure that power isn’t interrupted before the closure of the park which API understands to be October 30, 3018.”

On Tuesday evening, Superior Media received a disturbing phone call from one of the homeowners at River Valley Park informing me that 3 men, identifying themselves as being from the Brampton, Ontario area were at RVP courtesy RVP Inc.’s owner, Mr. Jasbir Dusanjh. And why were they there? The answer seems to be that Mr. Dusanjh (allegedly) gave the men the green light to begin dismantling mobile homes at the park. Allegedly, Mr. Jasbir Dusanjh told them to come back in a couple of days and said that when they come back they can take whatever they want.”

“They (the three men from Brampton) told me that they were also in town to purchase a mobile home at RVP which, they said, fell through.” the homeowner stated.

Superior Media has again, reached out to Mr. Jasbir Dusanjh, to no avail. RVP Inc. has not, to the best of my knowledge, supported any homeowner with a move, either through physical labour or financial help.

The homeowner, who was in tears said, “We’re all really worried about our things. There have been alot of vultures coming into the park. We’re human beings about to potentially lose everything. For people to come out to the park and just think they can poach our stuff – it’s totally dehumanizing. We’re exhausted. It’s not right.”

No, it isn’t right. Not one iota.
