“From Wheels to Dream Home: Inside the Budget Transformation of a School Bus into a Cozy Sanctuary”
What Does Bruce’s Family Think?
So what does Bruce’s family think about his life’s work? He has a wife, Jean, who’s now 90 years old. Clearly, she’s been supportive of his mission to have stuck around so long! In fact, she helps him with administrative tasks like planning and taking inventory of supplies.
His children, both adults, are not quite as interested in participating. In fact, they don’t even buy his vision of an imminent apocalypse. And Bruce says that even Jean gets tired of the constant talk about Ark Two.
Opposition From The Outside
Not everyone is a fan of the incredible work that Bruce has undertaken. In fact, local authorities have tried to shut down his underground bunkers. To Ontario’s government, Ark Two is a giant public hazard, despite it being built as a resource to HELP the public. They want it gone and have spent a considerable amount of money to ensure that happens.
It doesn’t help Bruce’s case that the bunker was built without any permits. As a result, he’s had to appear in court more than 30 times.
Enemies At The Fire Department, Too
The Ontario Fire Department also wants Ark Two closed for good. They have actually sent teams to the site and sealed the structure shut twice.
And when Bruce hosted a gathering of fellow preppers/survivalists at Ark Two, the fire department showed up again and threatened to close the shelter for a third time. Bruce thinks these attempts are detracting from the important work of saving lives that he’s trying to accomplish.
