Peachland’s community services department receives $750,000 grant from the province for permanent flood protection measures JOANNE LAYH Peachland’s community services department was successful in receiving a $750,000 structural flood mitigation grant to do mitigation planning that will result in permanent flood protection measures between 4th Street and Swim Bay, Peachland council learned last week.

Director of community services Cheryl Wiebe says the grant funding she applied for will help protect critical tourism and community infrastructure from future flood risk.

Wiebe pointed to how the 2017 flood event demonstrated to anyone walking along Beach Avenue at the time that high water coupled with wave action could pose a risk to Peachland’s parkland, including Swim Bay, the retaining walls, the grass areas and dock structures, as well as Centennial Walkway and ultimately Beach Avenue.

In her grant application to the province, Weibe said there is currently ineffective or no existing flood protection works in the proposed area. When a flood is in the forecast, the district erects and maintains temporary flood protection measures.

“The district has over 12 km of foreshore, of which 38 per cent is the municipality’s responsibility,” Wiebe wrote, adding that installing permanent flood protection measures between 4th Street and Swim Bay is particularly challenging in terms of construction access because of the existing recreation amenities

(retaining walls, docks and walkways) and the steep slopes. And because this area is an identified archaeological zone, both factors increase project costs.

As well as being a critical emergency access route, one of the key factors in targeting the 4th Street to Swim Bay segment is that Beach Avenue is our main arterial, Wiebe told the View. “Under Beach Avenue we have a lot of critical infrastructure: water and electrical and cable lines. It’s our major thoroughfare so for us to ensure we’re not having erosion and that we’re protecting from those once in 200 year storms is really critical.”

Wiebe says from a parks and recreation perspective, this is a fairly significant grant.

“When you couple the $750,000 with the $150,000 we got last year, that’s a significant amount of money that the province has invested in flood protection for Peachland,” Wiebe said.

While no matching funds were required from the municipality, since the 2017 flooding event, Peachland council has committed about $100,000 per year to do rip rap mitigation on the foreshore to improve the waterfront.

“They’re unfortunately really long processes so it’s difficult for us to see a lot of action and activity,” Wiebe said.

The flood mitigation work that will take place between 4th Street and Swm Bay is a continuation of ongoing efforts to improve the foreshore.

Back in 2018 the municipality applied for a planning grant and was successful in receiving just shy of $150,000 to do floor risk assessment through the entirety of Peachland from tip to toe.

Wiebe says part of assessment was to identify high risk areas and the stretch between 4th Street and Swim Bay was one area that was flagged as high risk because of the erosion that’s happened there over the years.

Final reporting for the flood risk assessment grant is still in process but completion of the piece between 4th Street and Swim Bay was expedited to allow the community to apply for the subsequent $750,000 flood mitigation grant.

“Concurrently we have been working on flood restoration since 2017 so we do have our permits in place to do the area that was washed out in 2017 down by 11th Street and just north of 8th Street there were two segments there where the walkway actually failed,” Wiebe said.

In her application to the province, Wiebe said the permanent flood protection will minimize/eliminate the erosion threat to Beach Avenue and critical infrastructure (such as water, sewer, electrical, telecommunications, storm water, street lights and an active transportation route - Centennial Way) and this in turn will reduce resource requests during a flood event to the district, the regional and the province for emergency works and also reduce the likelihood of recovery funding related property damage or infrastructure failures as a result of a flood event.

The water restoration project from the 2017 floods happening on the waterfront should begin in April and hopefully wrap up before May when lake levels start to rise again.

International Women’s Day event to highlight water management JOANNE LAYH Westbank First Nation (WFN) and the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance will mark International Women’s Day on Sunday, March 8 with a First Ladies of the Okanagan Tea and Bannock Celebration at the 50 Plus Activity Centre.

The event was organized to share a day of recognition and applaud the achievements and contributions of women to the care of water, land and healthy communities.

The event will open with a smudging ceremony followed by cultural activities, including song and dance, Indiginous and newcomer customs, games, crafts and storytelling, and will feature a special performance from the opera The Lake / n’-ha-a-itk. Attendees can also enjoy a traditional English tea with finger sandwiches and scones served with preserves and clotted cream alongside Indigenous foods including Trapper’s tea, sweet and savoury bannock, bison sliders, fruit leather and trail mix. The event will conclude with a Syilx water ceremony and declaration (spoken in traditional nsyilxcən) at the lakeshore.

Alliance director Taryn Skalbania says guests expected to attend the event include members of the Westbank First Nation, Summerland’s mayor, Summerland and Peachland councillors, a Green Party MLA, UBCO Indigenous educators, climate change activists and three generations of Peachland and Westbank farming pioneers.

Skalbania says a highlight will be singers from Westbank First Nation, including Delphine Derickson as well as Heather Pawsey of Vancouver’s Astrolabe Musik Theatre singing excerpts from The Lake / n’-ha-a-itk, with Cori Derickson telling the story through dance.

Skalbania says from 2012-2014 Astrolabe Musik Theatre, Turning Point Ensemble and artists from Westbank First Nation co-created The Lake / n’-ha-a-itk, integrating Canadian composer Barbara Pentland’s historic 1952 opera The Lake, about settler Susan Allison’s sighting of n’-ha-a-itk (the spirit of Lake Okanagan), with original

songs, dances and dramatic scenes created by, and in collaboration with, WFN artists and community members.

“The women gathered have chosen this day to set the intention and endorse the 2014 Okanagan Nation Alliance living document, the Syilx Water Declaration, and advocate for universal adoption in all municipalities, regional district and communities along the shores of Lake Okanagan,” Skalbania said. “As women and the protectors of family and tradition we feel it is our duty to protect water...Syilx/Okanagan governance systems have always sustainably and respectfully managed water. We intend to invite all western governments from Vernon to Penticton and elected officials to pledge to manage water in the Syilx way.”

Those who wish to attend can reserve tickets in advance through Eventbrite. Admission at the door is by donation to the Penticton Women’s Shelter.

Spring has arrived in Peachland JOANNE LAYH It may have snowed in the higher elevations this week, but it feels like spring has at last arrived in Peachland.

While Okanagan winters are much shorter and milder than nearly everywhere else in the country, Canadian winters are still longer and colder than most people on the planet ever experience. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that after months of short days and cold weather we’re ready for a change.

I grew up in Saskatchewan where the high this weekend will be -9, which is actually not bad; I remember March going out with -20 temperatures and blizzard conditions more than once so by prairie standards, things could be a lot worse.

The first winter I was in Peachland I remember walking past the Gasthaus and being stunned that at the end of February there were buds on the bushes already. I’d never seen anything come to life until months later so it still came as a huge surprise to me, even though I was aware that the climate in BC was much milder.

Perhaps the part of winter people most difficult isn’t the colder temperatures but the lack of daylight time. Going to work and coming home in the dark makes most people feel tired and can interfere with the need to be active and go places.

The extra minutes of sunshine we get each day really does make an enormous difference to a person’s mood and activity levels.

In the last week I’ve seen plants beginning to grow and bugs flying around - both signs of life good indicators that a new season has arrived.

Pretty soon the snowbirds will begin their return followed by the RVs and other traffic when another tourism season will begin in the Okanagan. Hopefully we can enjoy another smoke-free summer this year, and as most forest fires are human-caused, this is something we can largely prevent if we’re careful.

However, it is difficult to predict if the coronavirus will impact tourism in the region this summer. So many local businesses depend on a strong tourism season to sustain them through the winter months when many locals disappear down south.

A good tourism season isn’t a guarantee and at this time of year, most small businesses in the region are still in famine mode, which is something to keep in mind when you’re making consumer decisions at this time of year.

OPINION

Without much scrutiny, motion passes for extension of EI benefits

MP DAN ALBAS One of the challenges, with so many different events occurring in Ottawa, is that some be-

come overlooked.

This occurred last week as the third party opposition Bloc Québécois had their first Opposition Day in the House and tabled the following motion: Mr. Blanchet (Beloeil—Chambly): “That the House call on the government to increase the special Employment Insurance sickness benefits from 15 weeks to 50 weeks in the upcoming budget in order to support people with serious illnesses, such as cancer.”

After debate on this motion was complete a vote was held with the Bloc, Conservative and NDP voting in favour of the motion passing with the governing Liberals opposed.

In the last parliament, this opposition motion would have been defeated, however in this minority parliament, the motion passed.

Prior to this motion passing, the maximum time for the special employment benefit on EI was limited to 15 weeks, a limit that has been in

place since 1971.

Unfortunately, how many Canadians might benefit from this change is unknown as the motion was not studied by committee prior to being submitted by the Bloc, as would have been the case with a bill.

This is one of the challenges in a minority parliament where a motion can be established politically and passed very quickly, potentially without sufficient scrutiny.

In this case, EI is a

program funded by contributions from both workers and their employers.

This represents an extension of an existing EI benefit that could be of significant financial assistance to a person facing one of life’s greatest health challenges.

In certain cases, it very well be the only time some workers might access the EI benefits they have long paid into.

As a result, I supported this motion although I did state some reser-

vations for the lack of proper parliamentary scrutiny.

My question this week: Do you agree with the motion to extend “the special Employment Insurance sickness benefits from 15 weeks to 50 weeks in the upcoming budget in order to support people with serious illnesses, such as cancer.”

I can be reached at Da n. A lba s@pa rl.gc.ca or call toll free 1-800665-8711.

When it comes to budget decisions, it’s always a question of priorities I appreciate the fact that the mayor responded to some comments I made in an earlier editorial. Public debate about council’s decisions and priorities is important and the View offers an opportunity for that.

I have a lot of respect for Cindy but we do have different opinions on many issues and I would like to correct one thing from her column. It was stated that I was not in favour of a splash park and I did not support facilities for young families. That is definitely not the case; I am very concerned about the lack of young people in our community. But when it comes to spending money, it becomes a question of priorities.

I worked to try and

keep Turner Park, as it has always been well used by young families. Even before it was sold, I advocated for Peachland to purchase it. After it was sold, I met privately with one of the owners, on more than one occasion, to try and find a way to keep the park. In my opinion, the rezoning that was approved for the park was a poor deal for Peachland.

With respect to the $370,000 splash park, I do not believe that Heritage Park is the right location for it. Parking is limited there and is used by customers of existing businesses. And yes I would give higher priority to spending the annual CWF grant money on sidewalk construction.

Building sidewalks does

not necessarily mean raised concrete curbs with drainage pipes, because that is very expensive. A sidewalk is a safe place for pedestrians to walk at the side of the road and we don’t have that on most of Princeton, Ponderosa or Trepanier.

When Council spent the $300,000 from the CWF on Princeton Avenue in 2013, we created safe areas with blacktop and used metal barriers in dangerous areas. We haven’t done any more projects like that since then. We didn’t get as far as Somerset and that part of Princeton Avenue is one of the most dangerous places to walk. I have seen mothers with young children trying to navigate that walking route with

great difficulty. As I said, it is not what you want to do or not do, it is a ques-

tion of priorities. To me, the lack of safe walking areas is a public safety is-

sue and should be a high priority.

Spring activities in full swing at Peachland Boys and Girls Club PATRICIA BARROWS

PEACHLAND BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB After months of cold temperatures, staff and kids at the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club in Peachland are eagerly anticipating spring! We are busy planning some exciting activities and are looking forward to spending more time outside in the sunshine.

Looking for something fun for your child to do during spring break? Bring them to the club! The Peachland Boys and Girls Club is offering a variety of different activities from March 16-27. We will be open from 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday to Friday for full day programs for school age children, kindergarten to grade 6. Pre-registration is required.

Days will be filled with fun games, crafts, sports, and out trips. We will be heading to Roll ‘N Stones Bowling in Penticton, performing a talent show at Summerland Memorial Park, and bouncing around at Jump 2 It in Kelowna.

A few of our science based activities include an egg drop challenge, popsicle stick catapults, and Lego robotics. For our more artistic members we will be making clay creations, wiggly worm puppets, and melting bead key chains. Then to burn off some energy, kids will be playing California kickball, Just Dance, Capture the Flag, and spending time at the Heritage Park playground.

Registration is on now for our annual Easter Egg Hunt that takes place on Saturday, April 11 from 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Activities will include face painting, a bouncy castle, and spring crafts before the exciting Easter Egg Hunt in Cousins field. The Easter Bunny will even make a visit to the club. The cost is $5 per child (ages 3 and up). Registration is required by April 8. Call 250-767-2515 to confirm your child’s spot. Volunteer help is always appreciated; if you are interested in assisting in decorating, hiding eggs, or helping children with crafts, contact the club.

For information on any of our programs we can be reached at 250-767-2515, peachland@obgc.ca, on Facebook at Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs Peachland or by visiting the club.

CLUB KID of the Month

Perseus joined the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club in Peachland earlier this school year.

Being one of the youngest members of our after school program, Perseus has been impressing staff lately with his efforts to be helpful and kind. He is bright, curious, and has a great humour, often even making the older kids laugh.

Perseus shows a lot of creativity with his drawings, art projects, and self-made melting bead patterns. He has also been enjoying learning hockey and soccer skills. Perseus has a lot of knowledge and information about dinosaurs and has taught us so much about many different kinds of dinosaurs. Club staff wouldn’t be surprised if one day Perseus becomes a paleontologist!

Perseus has made many friends at our club and we are very proud to recognize him as our Club Member of the Month!

Plan for Seedy Saturday and celebrate Nutrition Month with healthy eating tips SHERRY KENDRICK

PEACHLAND WELLNESS CENTRE March is Nutrition Month and this year Canadian dietitians are talking about how healthy eating is about so much more than food. Dietitians are encouraging Canadians to consider not only what they eat, but how they eat.

In 2019, Health Canada released the new Canada’s Food Guide. During the revision process, Dietitians of Canada advocated strongly that Health Canada include considerations beyond nutrients and talk about how we eat, not just what we eat in the new guide. This was to include considerations of food literacy, food culture and traditions, food availability and sustainability. The 2020 Nutrition Month campaign theme recognizes the healthy eating habits that are part of the new Canada’s Food Guide.

Be mindful of your eating habits by being fully attentive to your food. Take time to eat as your brain does not register fullness automatically. It needs about 20 minutes to understand that you are no longer hungry.

Take notice of when you are hungry and when you are full. Cook more often rather than eating out.

Culture and food traditions can be a part of healthy eating by eating meals with others. Food availability and sustainability is important as we want to ensure that the food needs of today do not compromise the ability to meet the food needs of the future. Sustainable practices support farm-to-table buying and avoid the use of processed foods or chemicals.

According to Bite by Bite, getting the most nutrition for your food budget starts with a little extra planning before you shop. Cook more and eat out less.

Plan what you’re going to eat, decide how much to make or buy, determine where to shop and shop for foods that are in season. There are many ways to save money on the foods that you eat. Eating out can be expensive, and many foods can be prepared for a lot less money. Prepackaged foods, like frozen dinners and packaged pasta or rice mixes can also add up. It’s better to find a few simple and healthy recipes that your family enjoys and save convenience items and eating out for special occasions.

Watch portion sizes. Eating too much of even lower cost foods can quickly add up. Use smaller plates and bowls to control portions.

Getting in touch with your hunger signals takes time and lots of practice. Be patient - people don’t become mindful eaters overnight. Make your own healthy snacks with low fat yogurts, trail mixes, nuts and dried fruit.

Remember to quench your thirst with water. Water from the tap is a low-cost way to stay hydrated. Substituting plain water in place of sweetened beverages can not only save you money but also help you reduce extra calories from added sugars.

Start a garden or visit a farmers’ market. A garden can be a lot of fun, and it is an affordable way to eat more fruits and vegetables. Remember to make half your plate fruits and vegetables. Plants can be started from seed or purchased at a low price.

Peachland offers the opportunity to buy locally grown fruits and vegetables that are in season for less money than you would pay at the store. This spring the Peachland Wellness Centre is hosting Seedy Saturday on April 4 at the Peachland Community Centre from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Come and learn about planting and harvesting your own fruits and vegetables and purchase seeds to ultimately supply you with healthy foods.

Community gardens have ecological, social, nutritional and economical benefits. The Peachland Wellness Centre has community gardens that you can reserve for your use and enjoy these benefits. Call 250-767-0141 to reserve your garden.

Help the University of Guelph improve hearing healthcare across Canada.

Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

Participants will be significantly adding to growing knowledge surrounding hearing loss.

You can register to be part of this groundbreaking new hearing study by calling 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study *Wingfield, A., Tun, P. A., & McCoy, S. L. (2005). Hearing Loss in Older Adulthood: What It Is and How It Interacts With Cognitive Performance. Current Directions in Psychological Science, 14(3), 144–148. † Study participants must be over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids. No fees and no purchase necessary. 1. Cruickshanks, K.
