Every time Philip and Sonja Hathaway leave their boat in the Campbell River estuary for supplies or appointments, they worry it won’t be there when they return.
Philip and Sonja Hathaway have a roof over their heads, but they live most of their days and nights with worry — and in survival mode.
Some of it is out of concern for safety, while with others it’s an outright “not in my backyard” attitude, said Philip Hathaway. More recently, they’ve become concerned about threats from intoxicated youth who want to sink their boat and beat them up. B.C. Housing confirmed in a statement that it had received an online application for its housing registry from Hathaway on March 30.
“As such, it is difficult for us to predict the length of time Mr. Hathaway and his wife will wait for housing,” said the statement. “Given [their] precarious housing situation, we are encouraging them to apply for the supportive housing registry so that we can assess if they would qualify.” They carried everything piece by piece up the Galloping Goose Trail into Langford and over Skirt Mountain to a secluded area in Goldstream Park on the Saanich Inlet.
“We’re just looking for a place to hunker down for the winter right now, and find a place we can tie to shore for [pre-natal] appointments and to just get food and water.”
