- The ambitious UBCO downtown campus project in Kelowna was supposed to revolutionize the city's core, but instead, it has become a hotbed of lawsuits, displaced residents, and structural damages. In this video, we delve into what went wrong with this groundbreaking initiative, exploring the controversies and setbacks that have emerged since the project's inception. Despite the challenges, we also discuss why we believe UBCO will ultimately be a positive addition to downtown Kelowna, bringing numerous benefits to our community. Watch the full video to learn more about this complex situation and share your thoughts in the comments below. Do you think Kelowna's downtown is developing too quickly, or do we need high-rise developments to meet housing demands?

I am/was a major proponent of the tower and giving Kelowna a REAL downtown core with high rises, offices, shops and schools but not a the expense of damaging properties nearby especially ones for people with fixed incomes in an economic boom for some/crisis for others... I hope all these issues can be remedied and quickly for everyone's benefit...
I agree and hope that all the issues that have been caused can be remedied quickly for those involved.
And what, exactly, would you consider to be appropriate remediation of the death of Jim Hadgraft?
My suggestion:
Name the school of Social Work which is to be housed in the new tower the “Jim Hadgraft School of Social Work”.
Require all future UBCO social work and nursing students complete a course looking at what can happen when inadequate supports are put into place when displacing vulnerable adults from their homes using the case of Jim Hadgraft’s story as a primary reference.
Free lunches at any tower connected food venues for five years to anyone who can show PWD social assistance coverage so that students can actually get to know some of the clients they will soon be serving.
Sounds like a lot, but still likely cheaper than the ongoing class action lawsuit is going to be, with lawyers likely taking the majority of that pot once disbursements and fees are allocated.
“Restorative justice.”

no high towers close to the lake/water
Keep up the great work, regards from Montréal! 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching!
What's the plan here? If the parking is going from four underground levels to two, what will they use to make up that two level difference? I presume some if not all of the excavation has been completed to four levels deep. So, one giant concrete slab two levels thick? Or back fill and compact? I dont think that is possible.
Good question. Our understanding is that they stopped excavation before getting to the planned four levels deep.
And, a tofu dregs project happened to Kelowna, BC. Who knew? Fully recover y'all.

Don't get me started on construction here in Alberta.. It would give the worst Chinese a run for their money... Just Google Carrington Properties Castle Downs to see just one example from one builder... Aluminum straps holding together unreinforced 2 x 4's. A 50 MPH wind would have collapsed the structure but thankfully nobody was living there after a unit fire rendered the building uninhabitable. And because of the use of shell companies and LLC's the condo board can't sue anyone for damages to recover losses and the only value is in the site which hasn't increased much since its construction around 2003? So everyone not only lost their homes but all their equity too! And they were still forced to make payments on units that clearly aren't usable. Doll House Pressboard architecture should be banned but will never be for economic reasons....
