Homestead rezoning urged after eviction of long-time squatter
The Community Services Committee recommends rezoning the land near Strathcona Island Park from residential to park land after Ron Mund, a 60-year resident who occupied the site since 1951, was ordered to vacate by the Alberta Court of Appeal. Mund says he may relocate with help from a housing registry. Mund’s eviction ended a years-long dispute and the city plans to incorporate the site as part of the park entrance. A newspaper ad seeks riverfront property and other housing options for Mund.
