We purchased this home in 2006. The owner watched us totally gut this home and rebuild it to what it is today.

We bought unit #210 - Oct 31, 2003 as our retirement house. Margaret is on disability - Al was planning on complete retirement in 2010, but I guess that's history. As an amputee I will be forced to continue driving taxi. I thought I would retire at age 74 - DOB - April 01, 1936. We have had no street lights at this end of the park for a long time. It is a safety hazard and unsafe to walk alone after dark.

I moved here to have a better life. Due to my disability, my daughter Sallie wanted me to move to St. Catharines. I put my HOME up for SALE. A couple were coming over to see it the same day we received our EVICTION NOTICE!!. So much for that idea. Now I can't sell and can't afford to move. Like a lot of the tenants I am still making mortgage payments. What can we do??

We bought this mobile home because it is 2 minutes away from my ill and aging parents so we could be close to help them. We also purchased because it is affordable and due to little yard maintenance would be a perfect retirement home. We still owe on our home and losing it will result in extreme financial problems for us.

Any hope of sending my children to college or university is lost. The loss of our home will put us into bankruptcy. Therefor any chance of sending them is not possible.

I bought this home when I was 18 years old because I didn't want to rent. I wanted to build up equity toward my future. Now I will be left with a $34,000 mortgage and nothing to live in.

My husband died and I purchased this home for my retirement. Now I have nowhere to go thanks to Marineland of Canada Inc. the owner of Green Oaks Mobile Home Park.

When Marineland purchased the park, the owner stood in my kitchen. I asked if I will be safe here as this is all I have to leave to my daughter when I pass on! YES, he said you will be safe!

We purchased our unit 5 years ago. We came here because we had family in the park and felt it would be nice to close to them. We took all of our equity we had from the house we sold to buy and renovate our mobile home. We as others did a complete interior makeover. Money ran short before we could do the exterior. Future plans were to start a business in the the falls and retire in this park someday. Now we have no equity for a business and no place to live. Marineland because they terminated our lease has inevitably has taken away our equity and our future.

This was suppose to be my retirement home. My life's savings and more were invested in this home. Marineland has wiped out all of my collatoral. The only way I'll be able to live (afford) will be subsidized housing. Recession - Another Fat Cat forcing tax payers to pick up the tab while they rake in more profit.

In Aug. 2008 we were offered $50,000 for our home. We turned it down because, #1-We love what we have done to our home. #2-What can you purchase for $50,000?, #3-We were told there was a grandfather clause in this park, we decided we would stay until we decided to leave on our own terms.

I'm a 45 yr old widow with a small dog. We paid cash, my widows pension and felt we really found a sizeable home. We've painted, met everyone in the park. All greet you with a smile, true heartfelt. After 14 months approx. I received this eviction and had to cancel $20,000 in renovations that I had planned. Now we have nothing. I pay $415 pad fees. This will completely ruin us.

I bought this home just 7 months ago on Aug 15, 2008 as my retirement home. I have put $4,000 into it now. What do I do? its worth nothing. When I signed my lease with Marineland they told me that this property would be here forever.

I bought this home and I've put $20,000 work and labour into it. I carry a mortgage and becaue of this lease termination, I will lose my home which I will have to pay for while I try to build another life. Its just not feasable, it's impossible.

We should offer our homes to Marineland of Canada Inc. for sale. Of course they don't want them. But we can tell him that this would satisfy us.
