Ken Twyman is frustrated with the province’s legislation around tenants installing security cameras in their rented homes.

Twyman lives in the Cowichan Valley in a rented home with his elderly parents, including his 90-year-old war veteran stepfather who has Alzheimer’s disease.

He said his stepfather has a tendency to wander, a common symptom of Alzheimer’s, so he installed a number of security cameras so he could monitor him and know which direction he was heading in if he went missing.
