Is This The Hazel Your All Admire & Love

Mayor Hazel McCallion agreed. "As council, we've designated that, down the road, when the landowner decides that they don't wish to run a trailer camp any more, it will be high density. Period."

To me it seems like hard hearted Hazel. For gawd sakes Hazel this is a community of 100 families who deserve some consideration. Buy the land and become a landlord.....

Trailer park to be uprooted

It's an anachronism in the heart of Mississauga.

Driving along Dundas St. W., west of Confederation Pkwy., it's unlikely you'd spot the entrance to the trailer park where about 100 people live in 47 mobile homes.

A tiny tin community for 60 years within Canada's sixth largest city, it's surrounded by apartment blocks, office buildings and car dealerships, snug in behind a motor shop that's up for lease.

But in less than a year it will all be gone. All the aging trailers along the dirt road that winds through the park. All the people who call it home.

Residents, who own their trailers but lease the land they sit on, have been given until the end of next March to move out so developers can erect more buildings on the prime property.

Folks say they got along well with park owner and landlord Anne Jugovich. But when she died in January, many said they feared her daughter might not want to keep the place going.

On the last day of March this year, residents were handed legal letters giving them a year to leave. If they remove their trailers, they each get $3,000 compensation. If they leave their trailers behind, they'll be demolished.
