NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that Council will hold a Public Hearing on: Tuesday, November 12, 2019 at 6:00 pm Council Chambers in the Peachland Community Centre 4450 – 6th Street, Peachland, BC Council will hear from persons who deem their interest in property to be affected by the following bylaw amendments: Bylaw No. 2267, 2019 to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 2100, 2014 to regulate the cultivation, processing and sale of cannabis within the District of Peachland.

Approval of this bylaw will provide the regulatory framework for the land uses of cultivation, processing and sale of cannabis within the District of Peachland.

The public may review copies of the proposed Bylaw, Council reports and related material at the Municipal Office, 5806 Beach Avenue, Peachland, BC during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) Monday to Friday inclusive excluding Statutory Holidays, from October 28, 2019 to November 12, 2019.

In order to be considered by Council, concerns must either be expressed in writing or presented in person at the Public Hearing. Written submissions may be delivered to the District of Peachland Municipal Office or emailed to the Corporate Officer, to corporateservices@peachland.ca. All written and emailed submissions must be received by 4:00pm on November 12, 2019 and will become part of the public record.

NO REPRESENTATIONS WILL BE RECEIVED BY THE MUNICIPAL COUNCIL AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING

A GEOLOGIST SURVEYS the area earlier this year.

JOANNE LAYH Vancouver-based Troubadour Resources is hoping to find copper and gold in the area roughly located between Eneas Lakes Provincial Park and Headwaters Lake.

“The Amarillo project is host to some of the more prospective targets developed in this world class porphyry camp in decades.

The multiple overprinting anomalies (e.g. soil geochem, prospecting and geophysical anomalies) established over the last couple of years, compound the potential for a major discovery,” an Oct. 28 press release stated.

The release says last year’s drill program was of limited extent, focused on a small region of the project area and did not drill the most prospective signatures.

“We’re pre-discovery right now. We’re still very much in the grass roots exploration mode,” Geoff Schellenberg, president of Troubadour Resources Inc. told the View. “The activities we have planned

ADCANADA MEDIA INC R0011756810 PV01

are very early stage exploration activities and any ground disturbance that does occur will be reclaimed, essentially right away.”

Schellenberg says the permit issued by the Ministry of Energy, Mines & Petroleum Resources requires them to restore any ground disturbance to prior condition.

“We’re in the early stage.

There is no mine planned in the immediate future and it’ll be many years out before anything ever possibly could occur, and the odds of that are quite slim, actually, in the exploration realm,” Schellenberg said, adding there is a huge distinction between mineral exploration and mining.

“They sometimes get thrown into the same category, which couldn’t be further from the truth. A mine would look like Brenda Mine and everybody has kind of seen that and what that looks like. An exploration site is a drill site literally no larger than 50 metres by 50 metres in size and that gets reclaimed afterwards, so the actual area of disturbance is very, very minimal.”

Last year when the com-

pany was doing similar activity, Peachland council expressed their concern to the ministry about a lack of consultation and potential environmental impacts in Peachland’s watershed.

Schellenberg says there are strict permit conditions regarding water runoff, water quality and environmental impacts and they abide by them.

According to Troubadour Resources, the multi-element geochemical signature of the Amarillo Project is consistent with a large multi-phase mineralizing system and is acutely similar to neighbouring Brenda Mines.

Between 1970 and 1990 Brenda Mines reported to have produced 278,000 tonnes of copper, 66,000 tonnes of molybdenum, 125 tonnes of silver and two tonnes of gold.

Schellenberg says future activities in the area would be very much results dependent.

“We’d have to see some positive results.”

The current round of exploration is expected to continue over the next few weeks.

District to hold public hearing regarding cannabis regulation JOANNE LAYH Peachland council has taken its first steps to regulate the cultivation, processing and sale of cannabis within the district.

At its regular meeting held on June 11, council provided direction to municipal staff for the development of a regulatory framework for cannabis within the District of Peachland. Planning department staff then prepared a zoning amendment bylaw, which they brought to council on Oct. 22 for consideration.

Approval of the bylaw will provide the regulatory framework for the land uses of cultivation, processing and sale of cannabis within the District of Peachland.

In his presentation to council last week, planning and economic development technician Matt Faucher outlined some definitions that have been developed to encompass the various license classifications available.

Cultivation has been separated into five categories: • Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) properties; • Small commercial cultivation operations; • Large scale commercial cultivation operations; • Individual cultivation for medical cannabis; and • Individual cultivation for recreational cannabis.

Faucher told council they created two classifications for individual cultivation, based on the rules that are applicable to each, as medicinal cannabis is governed by Health Canada under federal regulation and the recreational side is

governed by the province.

Processing has been separated into two categories (small and large scale operations) to cover the initial processing of harvested materials, as well as the production of edibles, beverages, topicals and other products that are authorized for production with the amendments to the federal Cannabis Act on October 17.

Sales have been separated into two categories to provide for the differences between regulations for medicinal and recreational cannabis sales.

“We have medicinal cannabis dispensaries, which are focused on people licensed to sell specifically for medical purposes. There are some caveats to that in that they can’t have in-person sales - it all needs to be done by distance. It all needs to be shipped. It is not going to be a retail store environment and the other one deals with the retail environment, so the recreational side that is open to all adults. It is a regular shop where you can come and go as you please,” Faucher said.

The proposed bylaw sets a maximum of two recreational cannabis stores in Peachland and establishes a minimum of 75 m radius buffer from the parcel line of any school. As well, recreational cannabis stores and medicinal cannabis dispensaries must not abut any use that is frequented by minors, such as a daycare, library, recreational facility, etc.

Under those conditions, a store at the mall would

were advocating for a larger distance from the school.

We’re just putting that aside, I take it?” Coun. Keith Fielding said.

“Given the layout and topography of Peachland, placing a larger barrier or a buffer would dramatically reduce the availability of land that we could actually use. The logic was that since there are already alcohol and tobacco present within the mall that this would be reasonably accepted as well,” Faucher said.

Faucher said recreational cannabis cultivation by an individual is governed by provincial regulations and is permitted in all residential zones and the requirements of the provincial regulations are sufficient in governing the use (i.e., maximum of four plants per dwelling and not visible from public places) so municipal staff are not proposing any further regulations at this time.

However, while under federal regulation medic-

amendment would provide additional regulation to mitigate potential conflicts with neighbouring properties.

The proposed bylaw amendment would limit the cultivation of medicinal cannabis to occupants that live in the dwelling as their principal residence and are not cultivating cannabis at any other location and that cultivation be prohibited in areas that are visible from public places (e.g., public roads, sidewalks, parks, etc.) and that no noise, odours and/or noxious substances be created or discharged in a manner that impacts surrounding lots.

“We wouldn’t want to see large patches of cannabis in say, someone’s front yard or somewhere that is easily accessible to minors or visible

to the public, so this is just a way of trying to make that a little bit more discreet,” Faucher said.

For the commercial cultivation of cannabis, the proposed bylaw sets a cumulative maximum footprint for cannabis related structures operating under micro-cultivation licenses at 550 m2 and requires a minimum distance of 50 m from sensitive land uses, including uses frequented by minors, such as daycares and schools, for both micro and standard licenses.

The bylaw would also prohibit the use of shortterm accommodations on lots cultivating cannabis and set a maximum of one cultivation license per lot.

Standard cultivation licenses would require greater setbacks than micro-cultivation licenses and must be connected to municipal services.

For cannabis cultivation in the ALR, the Agricultural Land Commission has established the cultivation of cannabis as a farm use under certain provisions and is protected under the Agricultural Land Reserve Use Regulation and the Farm Practices Protection (Right to Farm) Act. An earlier draft of Peachland’s proposed bylaw was sent to the ALR and their comments were given consideration.

“I’m openly wondering what the consequences are

of not taking the ALC’s direction and putting in whatever it is that we want,” Coun. Terry Condon said.

“Perhaps after the public hearing, when we’ve had input from the community.”

Coun. Condon went on to say that the federal government has been singularly negligent in providing the right kind of leadership and direction but expressed confidence in what municipal staff have provided.

“I think what we’ve got here is a document that is very well researched and well put together,” Condon said. “I get the strong sense that we are where we should be with this. Through our staff, we’ve done our homework and we’ve understood what we need to know about the sale of this product and the manufacturing and processing of this product. We’ve got enough now I think to go to the community.”

Prior to bylaw adoption, a public hearing will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, November 12 in council chambers at the Peachland Community Centre. No representations will be received by council after the conclusion of the public hearing.

After the public hearing council may request revisions to the bylaw based on feedback, if required, before consideration of a third reading, final consideration and adoption.

JOANNE LAYH Retirement is at least 20 years away for me, but I can’t help worrying sometimes that lifestyle creep (when a person’s standard of living improves as their income rises) might be putting my final years at risk. If that happens, I don’t think I’ll be alone.

We’re living longer than ever, but the age of retirement hasn’t changed, which means that theoretically we should be planning for longer retirements.

That sounds nice, but it doesn’t seem like cyclical recessions and economic uncertainty have done anything to turn us into better savers.

Instead, from what I can tell, we’re all living bigger and better as time goes on.

Decades ago, people lived in smaller homes, took vacations close to home, had less of pretty much everything, and used things until they wore out.

Now most North Americans live in pretty big homes, even though they’re having less kids. Maybe that’s because they know the kids will be living with them well past 18.

Instead of piling in the station wagon to go on a family camping trip, we’re flying to far flung places and staying in nice hotels.

If you stay in a hostel, chances are most of the people you meet will be younger than 30. I’ve occasionally seen families staying in some European hostels, but it seems like the older people get, the more likely they’re going to want to stay in more comfortable quarters. There’s nothing wrong with that, but when does lifestyle creep go too far?

I think maybe the trouble starts when the idea of what’s desirable gradually becomes what’s essential and we don’t even notice it happening.

Spending money on a daily coffee, replacing working electronics such as a cell phone because you’re “eligible for an upgrade” (ie: a contract renewal) and paying someone for clothing repairs and alterations instead of learning to do it yourself are now considered part of the basics by many people (guilty on at least one count!).

None of this is a problem if it doesn’t impact your budget and how much you’re saving.

My worry is no one knows for certain how long they’re going to live and if our quality of life keeps improving, some of us will run out of money before we reach the end.

It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over, upper highway bypass supporter says Dear Editor, I am writing to set the record straight with regards to the letter that Mr. Phil Dennis wrote in the October 25 issue of the View.

Mr. Dennis mentioned that one thing he learned at the Peachland bypass open house was that surveys indicate that most commuters would remain with the existing route.

To my knowledge no surveys have ever been done asking commuters which route they would choose.

What I do know, is that based on the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure Phase 1 Final Report their traffic model (read: computer program) indicated that about 10 per cent of the daily traffic is forecast to divert from the existing highway to the lower elevation route.

When challenged about these numbers and asked to rerun the traffic model with a posted speed of 60 km/h on the existing route, the projection was then increased to 73 per cent of traffic would use the bypass route during peak rush

hour times.

This does not include the 11 per cent of total traffic that would use the bypass route all the time coming off, or onto, the Connector.

I also know that when the existing route is closed due to an accident, fire, rock slide or any other unforeseen incident that 100 per cent of the commuting traffic will use the bypass.

To say that a true upper level bypass is dead in the water is also premature.

The present government and minister may not support it, but one just has to look at the situation in the lower mainland where, after spending millions of dollars on planning and designing a bridge to replace the George Massey Tunnel, the government has now decided to change paths and go with the more expensive option of building a new tunnel.

It’s never over until the shovels are in the ground.

Craig Bitcon, Peachland

Rainbow sidewalk will show Peachland is a safe and welcoming place Over the past few months, I have read a couple letters to the editor regarding interest in Peachland having a rainbow sidewalk or crossing and thought I would offer my thoughts.

My partner of 13 years and I have recently moved to Peachland from Vancouver and over the past three years we have driven to the Okanagan looking at various properties and homes, through numerous cities and small towns.

We kept coming back to Peachland, we quickly fell in love with this beautiful little community and the many people we met during our numerous visits.

Then one day we noticed, unlike all the other communities in the Okanagan, Peachland was missing a rainbow crosswalk. This made us step back a bit and wonder if Peachland was the right community for us.

Unlike straight couples, same sex couples may face setbacks from the community regarding acceptance, diversity, and not being welcome, for only one reason, who they love. But the more

we chatted with people in restaurants, by the lake, in the farmers market, storefronts and museums, the more we realized Peachland was that community that would welcome us with open arms and we were definitely not wrong.

We subsequently purchased a beautiful home, and our neighbours are amazing!

Welcoming us with open arms! So the question is, why no rainbow sidewalk/crosswalk in Peachland? It is not homophobia, or is it?

Although we haven’t experience any homophobia in the 10 months we have lived here, when I checked out Mayor Cindy Fortin’s Facebook page, her support of the LGBTQ2+ community is unwavering, but the responses to the rainbow crosswalk were shocking and surprising (check out the July 26 posting). The LGBTQ2+ is not a “special interest” group, like a yacht club of club (exact words from M.G.), because if it was that easy, I would be in arrears on my annual fees. It not is it a “choice.” Humans don’t pick their sexual orientation, that has been

proven over and over again. LGBTQ2+ people do not get special rights or treatment with employers. Give your heads a shake people, this is 2019!

Not 1970!

On Tuesday, November 12, I plan on presenting to the Peachland council a proposal to have a rainbow crosswalk/side walk in Peachland. My thoughts on a possible location are: 1. On the sidewalk in front of the beautiful Peachland Historic Schoolhouse; 2.

On the crosswalk in front of City Hall or the Gasthaus on the Lake; or 3. At the Highway 97 entrance to Peachland.

Yes, the rainbow crossing started as a protest on LGBTQ2+ rights, but has evolved to include diversity, differences and inclusion for all people, which I believe Peachland supports. A rainbow crossing will not make Peachland the gay mecca of the Okanagan.

You will not become gay if you drive or walk across it, but it will display and show residents (present and future), visitors and those challenging

their sexual identity, that Peachland is a safe and welcoming place for all people regardless of race, gender, disability or sexual orientation.

I would invite those

Intersection of Hwy 97 and 13th clogged by three-vehicle rear-ender JOANNE LAYH A three-vehicle rear-ender at the intersection of Highway 97 and 13th Street caused a minor traffic disruption Wednesday morning. The accident happened shortly after 8 a.m.

A 2019 Ford Ranger didn’t stop in time and struck a Ford Mustang, resulting in the middle vehicle striking a white GMC Canyon.

The driver of the GMC Canyon suffered minor injuries and was assessed by Emergency Health Services but was not transported to hospital.

“The centre vehicle is probably going to be a write off just because of its year. The other two vehicles are probably going to be repaired,” RCMP Cst. Schuhmacher told the View.

The Ford Ranger and Mustang were both towed from the scene.

Interior Health encourages residents to get annual flu shot PEACHLAND VIEW Interior Health is encouraging residents to take action and increase local immunity by getting the annual flu shot.

“Having the flu shot reduces both your risk of getting the flu and spreading it to our most vulnerable loved ones who are at high risk of flu-related complications,” says Dr. Silvina Mema, Interior Health medical health officer.

“We especially recommend those at risk as well as visitors to hospitals, long-term care facilities and other patient care locations get the flu shot.”

Numerous groups of people are at an increased risk of serious complications if they get the flu.

The flu shot is available through your pharmacist, health care provider, First Nations community health nurse, or your local health unit.

Interior Health held its immunization clinic in Peachland at the Fifty Plus Activity Centre on Tuesday and will continue to hold clinics in other

Richard Smith leads a journey through time in arts council speaker series PHYLLIS PAPINEAU Were you aware that Gummow Road was named after Stella Gummow, the first woman mayor in British Columbia and second in Canada?

Did you know that Peachland students had machine gun practice on the beach during the Second World War? These were among the many stories shared by Peachland historian, Richard Smith at the speakers series event in the art gallery on October 26.

The packed house was enthralled with the pre-

sentation, which included many photos and artifacts from the past 100 years.

Long-time residents, such as Shirley Mae Jeffries and Doreen Cross, could identify with many of the stories.

A photo of a very young Shirley Mae skating on the frozen Okanagan Lake and an old calendar from Clements Store which was owned by Doreen’s father were just two of the many artifacts on display.

Some in the audience had gone to school in that very building, which now houses the boys and girls club, the visitor centre as well as the Peachland Art

Name: Jasper ID: 486576

Age: 2 Years 5 Months Dog - Akbash

Meet Jasper, this big, lanky boy originally found his way to us as a stray from animal control. Jasper tends to be shy when he first meets people and needs a few minutes to get comfortable, bonus points if you have treats! Once Jasper is comfortable with you, he will offer his paw as a formal greeting.

He loves his people once he trusts them and becomes a loyal shadow! If you leave for more then 1 minute be prepared to be met with full body wags and a face wash. He absolutely loves galloping through large fields and playing with his toys!

Gallery. The original clock and school bell were prominently displayed.

Smith’s enthusiasm for his subjects was evident in relating stories about how the Blind Angler restaurant got its name as well as the George Pringle High School. A wine and cheese reception followed, allowing time to talk with the speaker and enjoy the many objects on display.

The evening was so successful that there were requests for a repeat performance, perhaps in the spring. In the meantime, the next event in the art gallery series is the always popular Mount Boucherie Jazz Band followed by dinner at the Gasthaus restaurant at 5 p.m. on Saturday, November 23.

Tickets are available at the art gallery for $30.

On January 31, the multi-talented Lynda Brown will be playing the dulcimer. Tickets for this event are free but is limited to 50.

The special events speakers series is presented by the Peachland Community Arts Council.

Adopt a Family and Adopt a Club programs begin PATRICIA BARROWS

PEACHLAND BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB The Okanagan Boys and Girls Club is a great place for children and youth and also a great place to work or volunteer. Each day, staff and volunteers have the ability to make a difference in a child’s life and be part of an amazing team. The club recognizes the importance of work and life balance and provides benefits to keep employees healthy and happy. We also value life-long learning and offer many opportunities for professional development.

Currently the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club in the Central Okanagan, including Peachland, has openings for employment.

If you or someone you know is dynamic, committed, and interested in becoming part of an outstanding team, visit our careers page. There you will find many opportunities to get involved in our clubs and make a difference in the lives of children and youth.

As we move towards the holiday season, the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club ‘Adopt a Family’ and ‘Adopt a Club’ programs begin. The holidays can be a particularly difficult time for many people who try to make ends meet throughout the year.

We match families and young people taking

part in our clubs that have been identified as requiring support with businesses and other groups who generously donate to this program. Sponsors are encouraged to provide a breakfast, lunch, and dinner and gifts for the family and or gift cards for the family to choose what they need. Last year the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club across the valley matched over 80 families with sponsor organizations to ensure that they were able to celebrate the holiday season.

The ‘Adopt a Club’ program accepts donations from sponsors to support club programs throughout the Okanagan. Programs range from parent support, preschools, daycares, and after school programs to youth employment programs and those helping youth at risk. Whether it is a donation of games, sports equipment, art and craft supplies, food, or a monetary donation, clubs appreciate any support to be able to continue to meet the needs of children, youth and families in our communities.

For more information on employment or any of our great programs, please contact us at 250-767-2515, peachland@obgc.ca, or stop by the Peachland Club at 5684 Beach Avenue.

Activity calendars can be picked up from the club.

Club Member of the Month Alex started attending the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club in Peachland three years ago. He has participated in a wide variety of programs at several club locations. He really enjoys our drop-in recreation programs where he can hang out with his friends or play sports in the field.

He likes to attend programs where he can learn a variety of new skills. He is in the Kid Food Nation program and the Bounce Back League Dodgeball program. He has also learned how to cross country ski with the club.

Alex is very creative and other kids are often drawn into what he is doing. Although he has fun with his friends at club, he is also very independent.

The staff have enjoyed seeing Alex grow over the past few years and this is why we are happy to recognize Alex as our member of the month.

Peachland Rotary raise funds to help prevent the spread of polio CHRIS BOYLE

PEACHLAND ROTARY CLUB What an incredibly enjoyable couple of evenings “Merlot, Meritage and Mur-der!” provided. Kudos to the actors, producers, directors and to the Peachland branch of the KGH Auxiliary. A fantastic job, everyone.

All the money raised supports local programmes and projects.

October 24 was World Polio Day. Did you see our club members waving placards in the morning mists near the IGA and again later on Beach Avenue? We are trying to raise awareness of this dreadful disease and the ongoing battle to wipe it out once and for all. After all, in 1985 Rotarians promised the children of the world that we would eradicate polio. We are working on it.

My brother had polio in England in the mid-1940s. He was fortunate and recovered.

I know others who still have post-polio syndrome, even in their late sixties. There are thousands of victims all over the world who have to live with the debilitating effects of this awful disease even decades later.

Poliomyelitis (polio) is a highly infectious viral disease that mainly affects young children. The virus is transmitted person-to-person through contact with contaminated water or food and can invade the nervous system causing often permanent paralysis. There is no cure for polio, it can only be prevented by immunization.

Its eradication will mean that no child will ever again suffer the terrible effects of lifelong polio-paralysis.

Polio destroys lives and causes an incredible economic loss in communities affected by it. In fighting polio, we have to improve

sanitation, water supply and the general health of a community as well as inoculate the children. Improving the infrastructure reduces general medical costs, lost hours from school and work and improves the educational prospects of the child, the village and the region. Along with its partners, Rotary has helped immunize 2.5 billion children against polio in 122 countries.

As the polio virus diminishes in the environment, the need for containment and cross checking takes over: suspicious cases of paralysis have to be investigated, vaccination has to continue, sewage has to be monitored for the presence of the virus and stockpiles of the vaccine have to be maintained in case of an outbreak.

This all costs money, and despite the continuing support of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which matches every dollar raised by Rotary two to one, there is still a funding shortfall. For some reason, costs don’t diminish.

Nigeria has been polio free for three years.

By mid 2020 polio will still persist in only Afghanistan and Pakistan, aided and abetted by ignorance, fear and suspicion.

We can all help by donating. At $1 per dose, a donation of $5, matched by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation two for one, could inoculate 15 children. Twenty dollars would “do” 60 children.

We can also help by spreading awareness and combating ignorance.

Want to know more? Visit endpolio.org and donate if you feel so moved but do learn about this awful disease so that you understand why its eradication is so important.

Along with its partners, Rotary has helped immunize 2.5 billion children against polio

in 122 countries, providing a template of collaboration for control of other, more recent pandemics such as ebola.

The Rotary Club of Peachland is continuing with the Starfish BackPack Pro-gram for the 2019/2020 school year. Save On Foods in Westbank is again partnering with us to provide the food at cost, and the Boys and Girls Club of Peachland continue to issue tax receipts to donors and act as administration for the program. We are very grateful to the many local individuals, businesses

and groups such as St. Margaret’s Anglican Church and the United Church of Peachland for their continuing support.

ShelterBox has placed the Bahamas on a “watch list” and are still involved in Paraguay. You can contact ShelterBox at support@shelterboxcanada.org or by phoning toll-free 855-875-4661.
