As the owner of Heartwood Kitchen and Shipwreck Pizza, chef Ian Riddick is a familiar face around Ucluelet.

 

But he still remembers his first trip to the coast with a friend in the 1990s — and camping in their van. Decades later, that style of camping has now become a necessity for many who work in the seaside town.

 

“I don’t get too fired up when I hear about transients and people travelling here because the spirit of the West Coast, this is how a lot of us were introduced to the area,” said Riddick.

 

That’s why the chef is welcoming the District of Ucluelet’s new six-month pilot project in which property owners can apply for temporary use permits and allow people to live in RVs on their properties.

 

It’s a short-term fix to the extreme shortage of rental housing, and high prices that have forced many seasonal workers into illegal camping situations.

He probably needs the cooks!
