In the early 2000s, 14 lucky families had the chance to buy the home of their dreams - one-million dollar properties with sweeping views in the Seawatch subdivision of Sechelt, on the Sunshine Coast in the westernmost province of Canada, British Columbia. However, the dream quickly turned into a nightmare.

The issues arose in 2012 when an 82-foot sinkhole appeared in the roadway, swallowing a car. Subsequent sinkholes occurred in 2015, followed by a significant one, measuring around 39 feet deep, on Christmas Day 2018. This heightened concerns about the area's stability.
