Life for a Musqueam elder has reached a breaking point.
Seventy-seven-year-old Dunstan Campbell has been living in a home on the reserve for eight months that is filled with mould, debris, and collapsing ceilings.
The elder says he helped build the home in the '90s and raised a family there, but left more than a decade ago to start a new chapter in Kelowna.
Over that time, Campbell says, the home housed several tenants; the most recent destroying it.
"I don't even think about it. I just wake up and turn the TV on to distract myself," said Campbell.
According to Campbell and former Musqueam Chief Gail Sparrow, the band offered to relocate him until a permanent home could be found.
Friday morning, Campbell said he had received no offer and had spent the night in his decrepit home.
