Rae-Dene Pednaud fights back tears as she describes the nearly-empty dream home in which she's standing in Sechelt. Multiple sinkholes have appeared, leading the district to issue an evacuation order Feb. 7. She said many of her neighbours will have to leave the Sunshine Coast, and their tight-knit community has been torn apart by the sinkholes. Residents in the Seawatch neighbourhood are struggling to clear out of their homes before an evacuation order is issued. According to the district, the local state of emergency and evacuation order expected Friday will give displaced residents access to accommodation and food vouchers for 72 hours.
