Beach Avenue building heights project to begin in the new year
JOANNE LAYH
One of the first orders of business for Peachland’s new mayor has been to address building setbacks and heights on Beach Ave, which was a contentious issue during the fall election.
His recent motion to direct staff to prepare a timeline for Beach Ave zoning amendments received unanimous council support, and subsequently at last week’s regular meeting planning director Darin Shaal brought back an outline of the project for council’s consideration.
Schaal proposed to present an options report to council by Jan. 10 to facilitate discussion on new zoning regulations, then return on Feb. 7 with a mixed uses bylaw amendment for council consideration of first, second and third readings. If that passes, the bylaw amendment will be brought back at the Feb. 21 council meeting for adoption and then the planning department would move on to drafting a bylaw amendment for the core commercial zone, or downtown area, at a later date yet unspecified.
The amendments would be drafted to bring a bit more clarity about where the CR1 and CR2 zones would be applicable.
“We would also propose to devise a CR3 zone, which would be a new mixed use zone that could be sitting on a shelf ready if somebody
“The addition of a new project or priority for staff should be considered with respect to all the other ongoing projects and priorities
cancies in our department right now.”
The planning department’s priorities have shifted from clearing the
able about that. I think that that’s where the rubber hits the road and in terms of the direction we might be able to provide to him. I would
as people prior to the election said, we’re following up on 99.9 per cent of what was said.”
“I agree with Councillor Thom,” said Coun. Dave Collins. “This whole project is about doing what the majority of Peachlanders asked for in the run up to the election.”
Collins suggested they wait and see based on the needs of the project and how much they’re actually going to change.
were to come forward looking to rezone a property in that area to a mixed use zone,” said Schaal.
Actual timelines will be dependent on numerous factors, including the nature and extent of the amendments and other outside factors such as in-stream development applications and other projects, cautioned Schaal.
The estimated timelines also do not include considerations to hold public hearings, which Schaal said may or may not be required, depending on what is being proposed.
In his report Schaal also addressed the ongoing challenges facing the planning department and how they may impact the timeline of the project.
as the addition of one has implications on others,” noted Schaal. “In this case, in particular, the department has been short staffed for several months and is dealing with an extensive backlog of in-stream development applications. The prioritization of staff time for this long-range/special project will cause additional delays to application processing timelines.”
“We currently have the highest volume of development applications that we’ve ever seen,” said Schaal. “Currently, around 45 in-stream applications and we are anticipating many more. We’re working at the pre-application stage with a lot of others. We’re also dealing with two va-
backlog of applications and applying a first in first out approach to be as fair and reasonable to everyone to focussing their resources on housing applications.
“If somebody has a subdivision application that’s going to lead to a new house as soon as possible, we’ll focus our resources on that,” he told council, adding the same can be said with respect to development permits.
“In broad strokes, I like probably 90 per cent of what Darin had to tell us,” said Coun. Terry Condon. “I think the idea that they should gather their thoughts and look at some options and come back to us in early January, I don’t think there’s anything unreason-
recommend that they don’t reinvent the wheel in terms of looking at the downtown revitalization. There is a lot of information that’s in our files on that particular subject.”
Coun. Rick ingram suggested it might be appropriate to provide some kind of mechanism for public input given how contentious the issue was during the election period.
“I think we’re going in the direction that the electorate said they wanted us to go with a number of these items,” Coun. Keith Thom said in response to Ingram’s remarks. “There may be some warrant for public hearings on a few of these items but essentially if you look at all of what we
“We are following direction of our constituents or our taxpayers,’ noted Coun. Alena Glasman. “I think that trying to alleviate significant cost factors in this project would be a benefit to the district as well as our taxpayers. I know public hearings are not exactly cheap, nor are they free, nor is any form of an audience participation, for lack of a better term. Allowing people to have their input, whether it be written or verbal, they have said what they want and 90 per cent positive we’re doing the correct direction.”
Mayor Van Minsel noted that in addition to the project, council would have a full day workshop at the end of January to begin to put something together that reflects the wishes of Peachland residents.

DAN ALBAS MP
Last week Canada’s Auditor General, Karen Hogan, released Audits 9 and 10 that focused on the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Report 9 focused on vaccines. While the audit notes that Canada secured a sufficient supply of vaccine doses, it was also critical over significant levels of vaccine waste.
The auditor notes that there are approximately 32.5 million doses worth an estimated value of $1 billion that will have end up wasted due to not being administered or redistributed elsewhere prior to the expiry date.
Report 10 focused on COVID benefit payments. Here the Auditor General found several areas of serious concern. For example, she found there have been $4.6 billion of benefit payments paid to ineligible individuals.
The AG further estimates that a minimum of $27.4 billion in other benefit payments must be further
investigated to determine proper eligibility.
The AG’s audit also found concerns with subsidy programs that were targeted to businesses.
As one example, the AG stated that potentially as many as 50,000 businesses may have received emergency wage subsidy payments (CEWS) in total value of $9.87 billion. These businesses may have also been ineligible.
Previously some media organizations have published stories of publicly traded companies that continued to pay executive bonusses, while at the same time collecting CEWS support from taxpayers.
Overall, the Auditor General notes that the government using “attestation” from businesses and individuals resulted in many situations where benefits were paid to those who were ineligible.
While the government conceded this would be a foreseeable problem at the time, it also committed to doing a more thorough review and vetting of appli-
cants after the fact.
Here the Auditor General has been critical and notes the government has presented no formal plan of action on this ‘thorough review and vetting’.
This raises the question how much of this potentially misspent money will ever be repaid to taxpayers.
Currently the Government of Canada has reported that it has collected just $ 2.3 billion from those who did not qualify for the benefits.
How much more will be collected remains unknown.
There is also the added challenge that the Trudeau Liberal Government has thus far not accepted the findings of the Auditor General’s report as is commonly the response from government.
In Question Period last week the Minister of National Revenue, Diane Lebouthillier, stated that: “The CRA does not agree with the Auditor General’s calculations concerning recipients who were not eligible for the wage subsidy. The CRA’s actual audits in-
dicate that compliance with the subsidies was high and that the Auditor General’s figure is exaggerated. This is not the Auditor General’s fault. We all know that she was pressured by the opposition to produce this report.”
For the record none of the opposition parties have any influence or involvement over how the Auditor General conducts an audit or what the findings may or may not be.
There was a time when citizens were not supportive or even outraged if the government was not careful and prudent in the spending of tax dollars.
However, in this case, by allowing for attestation instead of verification, the Trudeau Liberal Government was taking applicants at their word that they were eligible for funding.
My question this week: What are your thoughts on the government’s use of an attestation in delivering timely support programs?

The video shows her cat scratching at the door with excitement as a young bobcat looks inside, drawing exclaims of awe from Miller and her daughter.
Within an hour the video was at 100,000 views, then 500,000 and by the next day the video had reached an audience of over a million people on Instagram.
“So, I posted it to my very
million on TikTok and it’s not slowing down. I don’t even know if it ever will at this point.”
A week after the video went viral, Miller says it still feels surreal.
“I only took the video to share with my three other children that weren’t home at the time. After sending it to a couple other friends, their reactions inspired me to post it on my business Instagram page since my personal one is private,” said Miller.

Okanagan Lake mussel free
ABERDEEN PUBLISHING
The Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society (OASISS) reports that Okanagan Lake is free of invasive mussels this year.
So is Skaha Lake, Osoyoos Lake, Wood Lake and Kalamalka Lake.
“We are thrilled that our lakes remain free of invasive mussels for another year,” says Lisa Scott, Executive Director of OASISS. “However, the arrival of zebra or quagga mussels remains a clear and present danger. We must continue to be diligent in our prevention efforts.”
The society has been monitoring Okanagan lakes for invasive mussels for the past 10 years. This year, staff collected 148 samples from five lakes.
The sampling was made possible by a grant from the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, with funding provided by the BC Ministry of Land, Water and Resource Stewardship.
The Ministry has received support for invasive mussel monitoring from Fisheries and Oceans Canada through the Canada Nature Fund for Aquatic Species at Risk.
The work is part of a province-wide monitoring initiative and runs in
conjunction with the BC Invasive Mussel Defence Program. “To date, no invasive mussels have been detected in the province,” Scott says.
“Each year the valley attracts thousands of boaters from outside the province.
It could only take one contaminated boat to start an infestation,” she notes. Scott says, invasive mus-
sels could have lasting negative impacts on our lakes, “as we have seen in other parts of Canada.”
Zebra and quagga mussels are non-native freshwater mollusks that are originally from Eastern Europe and Western Russia. They were first introduced to Canada in the late 1980s and since then, have spread into lakes and waterways around North America, mainly by contaminated watercraft.
In regions where they have already established, invasive mussels damage sensitive ecosystems, clog water intake pipes and water infrastructure, ruin beaches, reduce water quality and impact tourism.
The society is encouraging anyone travelling with a watercraft to clean, drain and dry their boat before entering a new waterbody.

Lisa Scott, coordinator of the Okanagan and Similkameen Invasive Species Society (OASISS), spoke recently to the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen board of directors about invasive species.
