Demolition company refuses work at Little Mountain housing complex
Project Manager attends July 4 rally to protest the demolition
Clearwater Environmental Group is a demolition company that refuses to bid on the demolition of the 224 social housing units at Little Mountain. "What the government is doing here is not right. They should not be taking down homes before they have a plan to build anything", says Mike Cote, Project Manager for the company.
Cote attended a government sponsored information meeting for prospective demolition companies on Tuesday, June 30 and left as soon as he understood the situation. "We thought these homes were coming down and would be replaced immediately. We are in the business of making people's lives better, not ruining them," he said. Clearwater Environmental Group was one of several demolition companies attending the meeting. The provincial government required the attendance of any company wanting to bid on the demolition of the 15 acre site.
"Everyone knows there is not enough affordable housing. How could you sleep at night after tearing down these homes for an Olympic parking lot? We want no part of this until there is a plan," Cote continued.
