The location has been used as a supportive housing facility since March 2022
Eight people have died at a temporary North Vancouver supportive housing facility since March 2022, according to the BC Housing contractor. During Monday’s Question Period, BC United housing critic Karin Kirkpatrick challenged Premier David Eby to investigate living conditions at the former Travelodge Lions Gate motel on Marine Drive.
But B.C. Coroners Service spokesperson Ryan Panton said there had been six deaths investigated in the period. He declined to provide dates or causes of each death, due to privacy protocols. Lu’ma CEO Marcel Lawson Swain, director of housing operations Barbara Lawson Swain and executive director Mary Uljevic did not respond to interview requests.
In early 2020, the province leased a third of the Travelodge rooms in order to ease overcrowding at homeless shelters due to the pandemic and hired Lookout Housing and Health Society as the operator.
