Unhoused Ontario family paying for campground site in Peterborough ordered to leave

A family living at a campground in Peterborough, Ont., says they’re being ordered to leave - despite paying for their campsite since arriving.
Shanna Miller, her husband and three children have been staying at Beavermead Campground since May 10. Miller claims severe medical conditions have kept her and her husband from regular work. In February she says “unsafe conditions” at a rental home forced the family to leave.
Unable to find affordable housing or shelter spaces in the city for her family, Miller says they pitched their tents in the campground and have paid for their extended stay.
“It’s not something I thought I would ever have to deal with,” she said. “It’s been a year since I’ve been looking for another place to live. I haven’t found it.”

We need to start HELPING each other rather than be part the problem. The manager and owner of the campground should be ashamed of themselves. I can't believe that what they are claiming is legal. It should be the law that if you have the ability to help a family have a place to stay, that it should be made available. Housing should not be a privilege, IT NEEDS TO BE A RIGHT. WE NEED TO START LOOKING OUT FOR EACHOTHER. THIS CAMPGROUND SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED.

[@Mugwortcircle]

If you voted for Trudeau this is on you. Make housing a right? So you think MORE government is the solution to the problems the government has created?

[@Sid-gu5qk]

I'm praying for them. 🙏 Please Lord send an angel to help them.

[@user-yt7jb7kk1i]

The lord helps those who help themselves, these are not those people.

[@ronnivachon4002]

Did she say it’s been a year? What do they do during off season? You can’t camp in tents in the winter time. And children should NEVER be homeless!!!

[@jackiebesteele2554]

Disgusting that autonomy conservation is evicting these people. I guess they get to go back to their cozy little homes? These people are paying! This is what they can afford! We are in a housing crisis. In addition. @globalnews should NEVER be showing these children's faces...no dignity?!

[@criosulaman427]

This is what ppl have to do to get affordable housing in this place.

[@billboy9502]

It is so sad that most people who are struggling have multiple children, multiple pets, and multiple tattoos .

[@user-zr6pl6nb6z]

I struggle and I have no children, no pets, and no tattoos.

[@JacksonWilliams-lp2un]

They should have animals if you can’t afford to feed your self and care for your pets properly ❗️

[@theroadnottaken9378]

they stated they were without housing, and not without food.

[@MrJbooker33]

Remember the GOC think we have never had it better! Homeless for 2 years here In Kelowna.

[@Justistsingh]

Can't find work because of various medical issues. They have money to feed 2 dogs and buy a camping trailer. The whole story is very suspect, I imagine there are a lot of details that were left out on purpose to paint the perfect narrative.

[@tinytim4657]

Their fault they should not have left house until they found somewhere else

[@MyCatsChannel841]

Yes there a family unit 👏💯

[@user-fx1mc3jv3q]

Dude if the place was full of mold who you stay there one more second??

[@not_sorry]

If the city deems a home unsafe its not optional to just stay. But that does raise an interesting point. Would social services not have helped them find alternative arrangements? If they haven't been working theyre clearly on assistance of some sort. There are resources

[@tinytim4657]

You still don’t become homeless. You find another place first. At least they would have had a fridge hear AC and a shower.

Its ok, the rich can make up for it by paying higher prices

[@mhow7024]

This is a garbage situation. Thanks to our government. She wont get a rental anywhere because she is "too many" kids. Rental appts and even mom and pop investors don't like too many people living in their precious investments.

[@patton2442]

UNACCEEEEEEEEEEPTABLE

[@user-mh2ye9nf3y]

You can thank "investors" for buying up real estate and driving up prices to rent them out, often as AirBnB.

[@stephey808]

Yes in summer in southern Ontario second home owners are taking it in! No tenancy laws to adhere to, hell those cottage owners ask between 11,000 and 32,000 a month for a real nice cottage and most go for at least 6000, why would a landlord rent for less if they can take in that cash?

[@NotExpatJoe]

There are 16.4 million housing units in Canada, of which 235,000 are considered short term rentals. I don't think it has a big an effect on real estate prices as you believe. The real reason for housing price increase is the old rule of supply and demand. It has very little to do with investors buying up property, and more to do with urbanization. A friend retired and sold his home in Toronto for almost $2m and moved to Theodore, Saskatchewan where he bought a comparable house for only $13k. He went from a city of 3 million to a village of less than 350 people. Now this isn't a viable option for most people, but I don't see any reason people living off the government dime can't move to a city where housing is more affordable. Instead the dumb twats live somewhere they can't afford and complain about it.

[@user-mh2ye9nf3y]

@NotExpatJoe Housing prices are out of control. A house should never be an asset. Its price used to be based on utility value, not a speculative asset class.

[@Canuck-sv8dh]

Some camp grounds will let you rent a spot all year round, depends on who runs it.

[@henrygreenwood3927]

Is mass immigration the reason for low housing stock?

[@user-zr6pl6nb6z]

Yes.

[@drquinnmedicinewoman7786]

yes dumb dumb and busy roads, shortage of water and electric supply

[@goodtimes474]

This is now the main issue not price of groceries it is the cost of rent who can afford this ridiculous amount of rent now people where complaining when condo owners where charging people $2300 a month rent now all appointments charge this price lower rent this is urgent. But no one cares in this country.

People don't plan on hard times , sometimes it just happens. With all the taxes we pay there should be something to help Canadian citizens in there time of need! Lots of money for everyone else according to Trudeau!!

[@nancycain7544]

Sometimes things can happen buddy, especially with our PM, your a pretty calus person! So easy for people to judge others, sickening. Makes me unfortunately, hope they will be in the same position one day!!!

[@Spirit_Bear2]

The campground has their own policy on length of stay. Imagine if everyone wanted to live full-time there. There wouldn't be any spots available for legit campers.

[@kevingort4926]

Son what is your solution? Huh?

[@OnGod1007]

Ok first off poor kids. Probably get teased relentlessly at school, if they are going at all, unless that's a normal thing up in Peterborough. And why on God's Earth do they have 2 huskies. They don't even have a camper they're using ratty tents. They left their apartment or whatever the rental because of unsafe living conditions. Yeah right that was their excuse for not paying rent probably and now they cannot find another apartment because they have their history of unpaid rent and the fact that they have 2 huskies. I'm probably sounding judgmental which I probably am being a little bit but when you drag two kids and two animals into your lifestyle you should be held accountable for that and those kids shouldn't be living in tents in the 21 century

[@Malumbrus]

Rise up, Canadians. We don't have to live like this.

[@neenus]

O Canada! What have become of you!! I came to Canada in 2006 which was not too long ago I worked a minimum wage job while studying I was still able to support a family back home until they got here and paid rent at the same time fast forward few years I was able to finish school and got a career started my own business got married started a family bought a home all on less than 70K income at the time I love Canada and I call it home but I must admit I never imagined I would ever see anything like this in the news and it's so frequent it's scary... It definitely keeps me up at night thinking how can my kids ever survive if things keep going like this ?? Never mind the future if I didn't buy a home in 2015 I would never have been able to afford one afterwards... What a shame to hear about something like this in Canada 😮

Just curious why they can’t work?

[@NotExpatJoe]

Lack of motivation. There is work for everyone in Canada if they want to work. I'm retired, but my wife's work is always hiring some imbecile or another under some government program. One dude sits at a desk all day licking his fingers and drooling on himself, but thanks to the government program he collects a weekly paycheck. The government even paid for the company to create a special restroom for people with special needs. There is absolutely no excuse for someone not working if they want a job.

[@walkwithrach22]

Agree. Any why 3 dogs? Lazy.
