Chelsea Langlois told Global News she had to move her family of four out of their rental home in Langford when she was notified it would be torn down for development.
She may. It really depends on how she left. But it seems like an arbitrator has already deemed that the demolishion permit was issued to the development company in bad faith, so that is probably a good sign for her!
I am hopeful she is compensated, and that this is a reminder to Langford that this type of activity will cost developers in the long run. I also hope this alerts any other tenants who were victim of these types of practices to come forward and test their case. Ridiculous system, but it what we got.
And that compensation is sitting in a business trust collecting interest that they won’t have to pay to her, so they’re literally going to make money off this even if they have to recompense her.
I would hope she has some sort of legal recourse here, because fuck everything about that.

The unfortunate reality is it will like take years to work it’s way through before she sees any sort of compensation.
