Transmission line progress too slow for town council JOANNE LAYH BC Hydro representatives were virtually in town this week to provide an update on the West Kelowna transmission project and the message they delivered was far from satisfying to most members of Peachland council. The goal of the transmission project or second connection is to provide electrical supply redundancy to communities served by the Westbank Substation, which include Peachland, West Kelowna, Westbank First Nation and some surrounding areas. About 23,000 BC Hydro customers are served by the Westbank Substation and a single 138 kilovolt transmission line. The existing transmission line is 80 km long and runs from the Nicola Substation near Merritt through rugged, remote terrain to West Kelowna. As many residents were reminded during last summer’s Brenda Creek wildfire that threatened to take out power to the entire westside, the terrain is susceptible to forest fires and landslides. BC Hydro project manager Rachelle Trent attended Peachland’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday to provide council with a progress report on the project. Council members were frustrated to hear that there is no time estimate as to when the project will be completed or even when a final decision will be made. Trent said the project is currently in their capital plan as a priority for the company but declined to comment on estimated completion timelines when asked. BC Hydro has been studying a number of alternatives over the years and has yet to make a decision. Alternative 2, a new transmission line from Nicola Substation to Westbank Substation, had once been the “leading alternative” but BC Hydro is currently focused on exploring variations of Alternative 3.

District of Peachland at a pinch point in terms of space

JOANNE LAYH

District staff have been working for months to relo-

cate non-profit groups that will be impacted by the second phase of the Residences on 6th seniors housing proj-

ect but the shortage in community facility space is making it a difficult task, Peachland council heard

Land Act: Notice of Application for a Disposition of Crown Land Take notice that Glencore Canada, located in Toronto, ON; has applied to the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (FLNRORD), Kamloops, for a Crown Land Lease to develop an Organic Waste Recycling Facility situated on Provincial Crown land located on fourteen hectares of the existing Brenda Mine site located 35 km west of Kelowna and 18km Northwest of Peachland in south central British Columbia. FLNRORD invites comments on this application, the Lands File is 3413614. Written comments concerning this application should be directed to the Senior Land Officer, Kamloops FLNRORD, at 441 Columbia Street, Kamloops, V2C 2T3. Comments will be received by FLNRORD up to January 17, 2022. FLNRORD may not be able to consider comments received after this date. Please visit the website at http://comment.nrs.gov.bc.ca/ for more information. Be advised that any response to this advertisement will be considered part of the public record. For information, contact the Freedom of Information Advisor at FLNRORDs’ office in Kamloops British Columbia.

last Tuesday. District staff have been working with the affected tenants since June, when it was announced that the Peachland Seniors Support Society’s (PSSS) proposal to build a second phase of the Residences on 6th was approved under the BC Housing Community Housing Fund. The seniors housing society began working with BC Housing around 2006 and in 2019 phase one of the project was completed. The society plans to construct the 68-unit five-storey phase two building on the District of Peachland-owned property on 5th Street, immediately adjacent to the phase one project. That means the Peachland Wellness Centre, Peachland Community Police (also home to the Peachland Lions Club) and the Peachland Food Bank, along with a couple of houses, will either be demolished or moved to make way for the new structure. “Community facility space is limited in Peachland,” said director of community services Cheryl Wiebe in her report to council presented Tuesday night. “In fact, both the Peachland Economic Impact Analysis (2012) and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan (2018) indicated that population growth is going to continue to put an incredible amount of pressure on community facilities.” One of the two residential tenants has already moved

into the Residences on 6th and the second tenant has given notice and will move out by the end of the year, said Wiebe. Acceptable solutions have also been found for the Peachland Food Bank and Peachland Community Police. While it’s smaller than the space they require, the boxing club area of Fourth Street Place could house Peachland Food Bank (although they would be lacking food storage space) and the Peachland Community Police could move to a small, unused office in the Fifty Plus Activity Centre that has outside access and would require only minor renovations to accommodate their needs. The Peachland Community Police do not have access to external funding to support renovations and as such, the cost will be the responsibility of the district, said Wiebe, adding that both the operators of the Fifty Plus Activity Centre (the Peachland and District Retirement Society) and the Peachland Community Police are supportive of the recommendation. But finding new homes for the rest of the non-profit groups is proving to be a more difficult challenge. The Peachland Wellness Centre is currently working with the PSSS and the consultants for the project to see if they can occupy a space in the new building. However, as BC Housing will not financially support an auxiliary/discretionary

space, the wellness centre will need to fundraise or find another financial option to fund the annual lease portion. Staff currently have no recommendations about where to house the Peachland Lions Club and Peachland Rotary Club. “The district has reached a pinch point in terms of space. While discretionary space has been available for the past 10-15 years, that space is now being allocated to its intended purpose - seniors housing,” said Wiebe. Should an agreement not be made between PSSS and PWC, Wiebe said the district may want to engage a consultant to look to other options, including a core services review to determine what core programs and services should be provided in Peachland facilities as well as a facility program and space planning audit to revisit some lease agreements and consider another model of shared space. What Peachland council thought of Wiebe’s report remains unknown for now, because before discussion could begin Coun. Patrick Van Minsel asked his council colleagues if they could have an in-camera meeting in two weeks to discuss the project. Councillor Keith Fielding, also the PSSS president, moved the recommendation and noted that there a lot of confidential information as well as information BC Housing will not allow them to discuss publicly without their prior permission.

Frustration and anger mounting over lack of progress on project Continued from Page 1

What BCHydro refers to as Alternative 3 consists of several options to connect to FortisBC: • 3a, a new transmission line from Westbank Substation to FortisBC’s DG Bell Substation in Kelowna, including a submarine crossing of Okanagan Lake; • 3b, a new transmission line from Westbank Substation to FortisBC’s Saucier Substation in Kelowna via a new substation in West Kelowna and a submarine crossing of Okanagan Lake; • 3c, a new transmission line from Westbank Substation to FortisBC’s Saucier Substation in Kelowna, including a submarine crossing of Okanagan Lake; or • 3d, a new FortisBC distribution alternative to Saucier Substation in Kelowna, which would include a new substation. “Working with FortisBC, we’ve determined Alternative 3d isn’t feasible,” said Trent.

Alternative 3d requires a constant electricity supply and while FortisBC

Nation (WFN) and West Kelowna, and BC Hydro will be working with those

ing alternative sometime next year. “Our terminology is

I’ve been looking at this particular project for too many years and I don’t see the kind of progress that I think it deserves.”

has a robust power supply, this alternative requires the advancement of extensive FortisBC network upgrades, she said. Options 3a, 3b and 3c do not present the same challenge of requiring constant electricity supply from FortisBC or the associated extensive upgrades. Trent said their current focus is on 3c as it’s the most straightforward and shortest distance to connect to Saucier Substation. She said the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) is open to routing the transmission line overhead along Hwy 97 through Westbank First

communities to refine a conceptual design. They will also need to work with the City of Kelowna to determine where the submarine cable would come out on the other side of the lake. Running the cable along the bridge is off the table, she told council. Instead, the submarine cable would sit at the bottom of the lake, similar to the submarine crossing near Lake Country. BC Hydro is planning to launch an online public engagement next month, followed by another update to council in early 2022 and then confirmation of a lead-

‘leading alternative’. It’s not the final choice, I guess,” said Trent. Once that alternative is chosen it would still need to receive the support of the province’s regulator, the BC Utilities Commission, she added. “I’ve been looking at this particular project for too many years and I don’t see the kind of progress that

I think it deserves,” said Coun. Terry Condon. “I’m looking for something a little more constructive in terms of moving this thing forward.” “We’ve been going through this for a long time,” said Mayor Cindy Fortin. “It’s just taking so long and the Brenda Lake wildfire just showed just how dangerous it could be. We were in a heat wave at the time and if we’d have lost power there would have been most certainly some deaths. That’s why it’s even more urgent to get going on this because we are going to experience more years like this year.” Councillor Patrick Van Minsel said he’s been following this for many years and he has the same con-

cerns as his colleagues. “I hear words like high priority, explore options, look into work and design. These words have been told to us for more than 10 years. So I really encourage you to speed it up. Maybe it’s not within your power to do this but looking at this timeline, knowing how long things take to develop and go into construction, it’s my personal opinion that this will take another five to seven, eight years,” said Van Minsel. “That’s unacceptable, not only for us but also for our colleagues in West Kelowna and Westbank First Nation. I hope you convey this message to whoever you need to convey it to and speed this process up because words are just words. We need to see action on this.”

Curbside pickup for supermarket rebels I had the experience recently of shopping for groceries with two unmasked seniors. When asked why, she said she was exempt (For what, a low IQ?) and he said he was a rebel (Against what? The safety of his extended family?). As they breathed droplets over the uncovered produce and crowded me, I suggested curbside pickup while he waits in the car would be a better use of COVID protocols the IGA has worked so hard to provide. The cashier said kindly, “What’s so hard about a simple mask? I wear mine eight hours a day.” Surely, after 20 months of pandemic education we can count on everyone to follow this simple first line of defense when out in public? Kim Bailey, Peachland

With transportation corridors compromised due to road closures, Recycle BC (responsible for residential packaging and paper recycling in B.C.) cannot currently move these materials from receiving facilities to end markets in the Lower Mainland, said a regional district press release issued today. For now, residents are encouraged to keep glass and Styrofoam stored safely at home until full depot service is up and running again. “We are hopeful residents appreciate the exceptional circumstances the province

is currently experiencing, and we thank you for helping ensure these materials can eventually be managed responsibly,” says Travis Kendel, Manager of Engineering with the Regional District of Central Okanagan. “For now, normal curbside recyclable collection continues, but we’d like to remind recyclers that glass and foam packaging should not be added to the carts.” For further information, visit rdco.com/recycle or contact the Regional Waste Reduction Office at recycle@rdco.com or 250 469 6250.

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Elizabeth Gregory, formerly of Peachland, BC. Elizabeth died at the Central Okanagan Hospice in Kelowna, BC on Friday, November 19, 2021 at the age of 93 years. She is predeceased by her husband, Greg; daughter, Joy; sisters, Janet and Billie. She is survived by extended family; close friends, Jean and Chris Haugland and Shirley Hathaway. Elizabeth truly had a zest for life! She loved the nature that she so keenly observed with her artist’s eye. She loved to paint and even taught some art classes. She had many friends at The Heritage Retirement Residence in West Kelowna where she fully enjoyed her years. There, she participated in many of the events and activities. Our thanks goes out to the staff at The Heritage, particularly to the Care Aides, and to the staff at Central Okanagan Hospice House in Kelowna who made Elizabeth’s final weeks comfortable.

Audrey died Friday the 19th of November in the early hours of the morning in Kelowna General Hospital at the age of 94. Audrey was born and raised in Carlisle, Cumbria in the North West of England. After finishing school she trained as an X-Ray Tech; it was a medical field that was in its infancy and very different from today. Audrey married Andrew who she met in their church youth group after he returned from Germany and was demobbed. They were married for 66 years before Andrew died in January 2017. They lived in a number of areas around England, Scotland and Wales before moving to Alberta forty years ago, and finally retiring to Peachland in 2001. Audrey was much loved by her family and friends. She was always busy with some project, and always put others before herself. She will be missed by us all. Audrey is survived by three of her four children: Michael, David and Diane; Pat and Joan, her daughters-in-law; grandchildren Paul, Angie, Jennifer, Phillip, Shelley, Richard, Christopher, Emma and Simon; great grandchildren Liam, Alex, and Nathan; and grandchildren’s partners Gavin, Donna, Brad, Tim and Stephanie. There will be a private family thanksgiving of life at a later date. The family would like to thank the caring staff at KGH as they looked after our mother over the last few days. Please make any donations in memory of Audrey to the Cancer Society. Arrangements are in the care of Everden Rust Funeral Services & Crematorium, West Kelowna Arrangement Centre (250-768-8925). Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.everdenrust.com.

This is Willow! She is a 4 month old Lab mix with all the classic puppy symptoms: eating, sleeping, and playing. She is a sweet puppy with a gentle and calm demeanor. A very affectionate pup in need of a very affectionate home. Although she is a quiet puppy, she will need lots of training and routine in her day!
