One couple was moving in to their new purchase and got a notice that day that the park was closing. Residents had to be approved by the city of calgary to purchase the homes in the first place. If council had it in the plans to not move them then why would they approve the purchases?

Well they can sue for alleged negligent (or other) misrepresentation...
In regards to the policy aspect, I agree with others. Trailer parks are a terrible use of city space and affordable housing, and that is prime real estate for other ventures (including, perhaps affordable housing in the form of apartments)
