Fire department master plan calls for new fire hall at San Clemente to council at Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting, along with Mike Sczesney of MES Architecture Ltd., who produced some concept drawings for the new fire hall.

The fire department master plan they presented identifies priorities, risks, challenges, and opportunities for improving emergency services in Peachland and is intended to provide a point of reference upon which future decisions and priorities can be evaluated and implemented.

Most significantly, the plan is the first step in work-

JOANNE LAYH Peachland council received a long list of recommendations last Tuesday in the form of a fire department master plan that is expected to carry the town into the decades ahead.

The plan offers over twenty recommendations for the fire department, which include building a new fire hall,offering a work experience program, and creating a full-time assistant chief position.

Isaac Comandante and Jeff Carlisle of Behr Integrated Solutions made a presentation about the plan

San Clemente Ave

ing towards the replacement of the fire hall building.

“Part of the master plan, of course, is our observations and recommendations on the fire hall, which is a big part of the report and it will take you into 50 years hopefully, with all your decisions,” said Comandante.

“We looked at the last five years of your response data and we looked at the trend analysis of what you’re going to need for the future . . . The future fire hall is the big part of this project.”

This re-location of Peachland’s fire hall has been in the planning process for the last two years.

This municipality owns a lot at San Clemente and 13th St. that has been designated as the site for a future fire hall.

Carlisle said the existing fire hall is too small and the fire department has to restrict the size of its vehicles to fit inside, which really doesn’t match with the needs of the community, and backing the vehicles in is unsafe because the space is so tight.

The proposed drive-through facility is approximately 17,000 square feet in size and includes five apparatus bays with support areas on the main floor and

San Clemente Ave

a meeting area, kitchen, dorms and gym on the upper level.

The drive-through option would have a single access door into the five drive isles, while a back in bay option would feature a larger apron outside the building.

“There is some safety concern when you’re coming in with vehicles through one door with separate isles, however, and the other issue with this is it takes up a lot of site space so there isn’t very much site apron space for maneuvering vehicles outside the station on 13th Street,” said Sczesney, who suggested a possible solu-

tion for parking would be to close off San Clemente Ave with a gate that could be accessed by the paid on call members of the fire department.

The location on San Clemente is a .39-acre site, though typically a building of the size that is being proposed would require a site of 1.5 to two acres to facilitate all of the parking and drive isles required, council heard.

While the site is on the small side, it is a vast improvement on the existing Continued on Page 3

Plan recommends fire department add an assistant chief position Continued from Page 2

site and will accommodate the core business needs of the fire department with some compromises, council were told.

Coun. Keith Fielding questioned if the community would be better off looking for a different site that will accommodate the town’s long term needs.

“It does seem to me that probably the first thing we should be looking at is identifying the site that we believe will meet our long term needs. Otherwise we risk working with one we know to be inadequate and investing money in it only to find that in the long term we have to create a satellite office or another site altogether,” said Fielding.

Interim CAO Joe Creron said these are questions that will need to be investigated further. There was also some discussion about the possibility of extending the site toward the highway to create more space.

Coun. Patrick Van Minsel said he has the same concerns as Coun. Fielding.

“Looking at this and reading through this multiple times, I’m very concerned. I think that this is not the site to put the fire hall because it is going to cost us $9 to 12 million on a site that is probably not going to be enough for our future needs,” said Van Minsel.

Fire chief Dennis Craig said there are challenges to the site and they will research them and look into them and report to council.

Peachland’s fire hall is too small for many trucks to fit inside.

“There has been a lot of studies done on the location of the fire hall. This location has come up numerous times as the prime location for our main fire hall,” said Craig.

“Peachland is in a unique situation where we are ten kilometers long and very narrow and when it comes down to insurance and fire underwriters, depending on where the development takes place in Peachland, we’re going to probably have a satellite fire hall in the near future regardless of where the main fire hall takes place. It’s not possible to service all of Peachland with one fire hall and meet fire underwriters, from a commercial perspective, depending on future development.”

Craig went on to say the location identified is the lo-

cation that best meets the needs going forward and for the long term.

In addition to the new fire hall on San Clemente, the plan also recommends that “based upon realized community growth”, the district begin the planning process for a future satellite fire hall by establishing a capital reserve fund and initiate a procurement process for a suitable site.

The plan also recommends the municipality add a full-time assistant fire chief position within the next year or two.

“Your fire chief does an exceptional job for the district,” said Carlisle. “Not only is he your fire chief, he’s your risk manager, he’s your safety officer, he responds to all the emergencies when he’s in town,

and the after hours calls. I know that he is logging a lot of hours outside his normal duty, and he also runs your IT system and stuff like this.

Very passionate, committed, hardworking person normal duty and Chief Craig would

never openly complain about it, but our opinion is this is not sustainable over the long term, particularly the after hours calls where he is the only full-time person who responds to everything.”

The fire department cur-

Do we belong in the Recycling cart?

rently has just two full time staff members, the fire chief and an administrative assistant. The assistant chief, four captains, five lieutenants, 22 firefighters and one junior firefighter are paid on call positions.

The cost for an assistant fire chief is estimated at $86,000.

Carlisle also said the district should consider a work experience program (WEP) upon completion of the new fire hall, which he says should include living quarters for up to five WEP staff.

“The reason we put this in here is when we looked at the response data we found that weekday coverage or response is where your challenge is. People are at work or whatever they’re doing and it’s just something to consider,” said Carlisle.

The municipality is expected to engage in a public consultation process before plans for the new fire hall are finalized.

Financial relief fund for Lytton After the Town of Lytton, B.C. was almost fully destroyed by a wildfire on June 30 the Peachland Rotary Club set up a financial relief fund at VantageOne Credit Union here in Peachland. A total of $1,735 was raised and has been donated to the relief fund through the Rotary Aurora Club in Kamloops, which has been coordinating fundraising efforts with all the Kamloops and area rotary clubs.

Many thanks and kudos to all those who so generously donated funds, including Peachland Rotarians, employees of VantageOne Credit Union and individual Peachland citizens.

Special thanks to VantageOne Credit Union for all their assistance with setting up and administering the fire relief fundraiser.

Single family not multi-unit housing My mother-in-law lives in a nice quiet, 60+ community in Armstrong. In this community there are only duplex ranchers. Each beautiful home is approximately 1,000 square feet and has a double carport out front and a covered patio in the back. These are two bedroom and two bath units with the master bedroom having a walk-in closet and a large ensuite.

The quality of life in the setting is absolutely great.

This type of housing is what Peachland needs, more than any other type of development.

It would be perfect for the former Clements property behind the IGA; but the developer that now owns this property has other plans.

This developer wants to change the OCP - what a surprise - to allow them to build a large rental complex. They would like to build 84 apartments on this dead-end property.

There is only one way in and out for the shopping complex, gas station, school and the residents that are there right now.

To add another 150+ people to this area would be insane and only add to the current commuter traffic heading to Kelowna for work every day. Besides, who would you prefer to have living next door to your children’s school? Retired seniors or a congested 84-unit rental complex?

Mayor Cindy Fortin (shown here with interim CAO Joe Creron) posts the first message to the Reconciliation Wall at Cousins Park in honour of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Residents are invited to bring their own message or use one provided. They’ll remain up for one week and will be removed on Oct. 8.

How to advance progress on reconciliation?

DAN ALBAS, MP Normally during the third week of September, all MPs would be heading back to Ottawa as the House of Commons would resume the fall sitting.

This year, because of the election called by the prime minister, it will be delayed.

Earlier this week Prime Minister Trudeau announced that he expects to announce his cabinet sometime in October.

The Prime Minister further announced that he intends to recall Parliament later this fall.

Potentially this could mean November or even early December.

Typically, the House only sits for the first few weeks of December which creates two challenges.

The first is that this provides a limited opportunity for PM Trudeau to advance any legislation through the House before the end of the year.

Secondly, it also provides little opportunity for all party parliamentary committees to properly scrutinize this government and hold it accountable to Canadians.

The prime minister also this week announced his priorities with his new government.

The immediate priority will be establishing mandatory vaccination policies for all federal government employees and similar restrictions for Canadians travelling within Canada on “planes and trains” as PM Trudeau often states.

What is interesting about these priorities is that they did not require an election to implement.

In fact, it could be argued that these measures could have already been implemented had the prime minister focussed on these priorities instead of calling an election.

One question already arising is will federal employees who refuse to be vaccinated be terminated from employment?

According to media reports “the (federal) government is still locked in negotiations with the public sector unions that represent tens of thousands of federal bureaucrats…” on this very topic.

Once more information is available, I will share it in a future report.

On a different and very important topic, Thursday, Sept.

30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This day is now a federal statutory holiday intended to create an opportunity for Canadians to commemorate and honour the Indigenous children who died while attending residential schools.

It is also an opportunity to support the survivors, their families and communities still affected by the legacy of residential schools.

We must never overlook that many loved ones never returned home.

Here in our region of Central Okanagan Similkameen Nicola, many of our local Indigenous communities were severely impacted by these institutions and to this day there are families still searching for answers.

On Thursday, Sept. 30 I ask all citizens to reflect on this dark part of our past and consider what we can do to help support Indigenous communities on our shared road to reconciliation.

My question this week: What ideas do you have to help advance progress on reconciliation?

This sweetheart was brought to the BC SPCA Kelowna Branch from Dog Control. We know nothing of his background, but know that he is quite social and already walks well on a leash with his harness. He will quickly win your heart and you both can go on life’s adventures together. He isn’t 100% trained yet, but he is smart and it’s not going to take long before he catches on.

SPONSORED BY:

A hiking trip to the McCall Lake area above Peachland ended in a safe rescue on Sep. 23 for a couple visiting from Alberta.

The pair of hikers had successfully made the 300-metre climb to the lake but became disoriented on the braided trails and, after circling the lake twice, they decided to sit, wait, and call for help.

At the time of rescue it was getting close to sunset, so RCMP and Central Okanagan Search and Rescue (COSAR) decided to use a helicopter to extract the pair.

“It was textbook,” said search manager Duane Tresnich.

“The couple did everything right by sitting and waiting for help. Wandering around in the dark could have led to trouble, as there are trails and cliffs everywhere. Interestingly, we had a crew bringing a trailer from our main hall by the Kelowna Airport and another crew bringing in assets from our new West Kelowna gear cache. The West Kelowna team [arrived] more than a half hour sooner. I think this speaks to the success of the new location.”

This was Central Okanagan Search and Rescue’s 82nd task of the year. Last year the volunteer organization set a record of 84 tasks, one they’re likely to break this year.

COSAR was set to unveil their new Westside gear cache on the evening of the 23rd. Unfortunately, the ceremony had to wait as the volunteers were called out to search for missing hikers in the McCall Lake area above Peachland.
