Plans underway for Peachland’s biggest events to return this year JOANNE LAYH After a two-year hiatus caused by the pandemic, plans are currently underway for Peachland’s biggest events to make a full return for 2022.

Since it’s been a while, and no doubt there are some newcomers to town who haven’t experienced any large gatherings in Peachland, here’s a roundup of what we should expect (fingers crossed there isn’t a rollback in restrictions):

Peachland World of Wheels Show and Shine - Sunday, May 22

The Peachland World of Wheels car show will return on Sunday, May 22 along Beach Ave. and other locations in downtown Peachland.

This event attracts about

10,000 people so getting to and from the downtown area might take some planning.

Watch for a road closure notice in the View ahead of the event to make sure you’re aware of the parking and access restrictions in place.

The show will feature cars and motorcycles as well as some antique boats, provided the water is calm and the lake level isn’t too high.

“This year we will have something really cool for parking,” Peachland car society chair Pam Cunningham told the View. “To the right of the elementary school, the realtor with that deal is on our team so we get to use that whole area for parking.”

The availability of the property for parking is likely to be a one-time thing, as this is the Clements Cres. spot where Porchlight De-

velopments has proposed an 84-unit development.

“The Peachland Hub Society are going to park the cars there and collect $5 for each car, or if people are nicer, they can donate more,” said Cunningham.

The society will operate the parking, with all funds raised going to the hub project. Cunningham expects they will have room for about 200 cars on the property.

From the parking area on Clements, there will be a shuttle bus to the community centre, which will once again be sponsored by realtor Troy Fisher of Chamberlain Property Group. Bus service is by donation to the Peachland Food Bank.

The shuttle buses will leave every 15 minutes from 10:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Once downtown, there

will be food and merchandise vendors as well as a beer garden at Cousins Park.

“Food Truck Alley” will be located in the community centre parking lot off Beach Ave. and 6th Street and closer to Heritage Park the Rotary Club of Peachland and Peachland Lions Club will be selling hot dogs and hamburgers.

Several bands will provide live music entertainment through the event.

Live music will be provided by the legendary Regals at the Gazebo in Heritage Park, with random show times throughout the day.

Over in Cousins Park Conroy Lee Ross, 3/4 Crush and Kat Rox will be performing.

For family fun, there will be a bouncy castle or two set up in Cousins Park beside the Historic Schoolhouse.

Canada Day celebrations Friday, July 1

Peachland’s Canada Day celebrations took a big hit during the pandemic. In 2020 the events were reduced to pop up concerts that travelled throughout the community, and last year even those activities were canceled due to an unprecedented heat wave that brought searing hot temperatures to the region.

Peachland’s Canada Day celebrations are presented by the District of Peachland with financial contributions from Heritage Canada and support from their community event partners, the Peachland Chamber of Commerce, Peachland Fire Brigade, Peachland Ambassadors, Peachland Community Arts Council, Peachland Lions, Peachland Rotary, and BGC Okanagan.

“The last two years of COVID-19 restrictions have been hard on everyone, and many Peachlanders are ready to come together and celebrate their community,” recreation manager Ben Stringer told the View. “We are looking forward to the return of our signature community events.”

Organizers are planning a day of fun that will include an official ceremony, cake cutting and free cake, bouncy castle, children’s games and entertainment, a performance by magician Leif David, a Canadiana t-shirt art project, concession vendors by donation, a Beach Avenue parade, free concerts, and fireworks.

The Peachland Lions Club is now taking registrations for groups, floats, vehicles, horses, bands and businesses to be in Peachland ‘s July 1 Canada Day parade. For more information contact Lynne Herrin at herrin@shaw.ca before June 27.

The evening concert will feature three sets of music, according to Peachland Chamber of Commerce general manager Patrick Van Minsel, who is organizing the music entertainment.

There will also be numerous community groups and

organizations set up to provide information or other offerings.

“The park will be filled with tents,” said Van Minsel, who is encouraging residents to come down early. “We’re expecting a full house, it’s going to be fun.

We’re going to make a party.”

The evening concert will start at 6 p.m. with the Elderly Brothers. From 7:15 p.m. - 8:15 p.m. Niki Martinus and guests will take the stage, and the final act, rock group ¾ Crush will play from 8:30 - 10:30 p.m.

If all goes well, the evening will finish with fireworks.

Peachland Fall Fair Saturday and Sunday, September 10 - 11

The Peachland Fall Fair is planning a return on September 10 - 11.

Doors will open at 1 p.m. on Saturday; the public is invited to drop in over the weekend and check out the many exhibits in a wide variety of categories from flower arrangements to photography.

This year’s theme is “A New Beginning,” says president Tami Theriault.

Theriault is expecting to see some new faces this year due to new hobbies acquired during the pandemic as well as newcomers to the community over the past couple of years.

“We’ve had a change in ownership quite a bit here.

A lot of the older people have left and maybe gone to a smaller home without a garden, and we have fresh people from Ontario, Alberta, Vancouver coming who are excited to have a garden,” said Theriault. “I think we’ll see a lot of new people in addition to the faithful standby ones that we’ve had for years and will keep coming.”

2020 will also see the introduction of several new section heads: Charmaine Nofield will take over the Juniors section, Handicrafts will fall into the hands of Erin Galley, and Paula McLaughlin will look after Vegetables, Eggs and Honey.

There are 12 sections in total and later this month Continued on Page 3

Christmas Light-Up - Friday, December 2

The Peachland recreation department is planning a return to tradition with their community light up in Heritage Park. The evening will include the light up parade, official ceremony, photo booth, bouncy castle, concession, visits with Santa, a Christmas sing-along, and fireworks.

JOANNE LAYH This week the Peachland Historical Society organized a small ceremony at the cenotaph to present a new First World War interpretive plaque to Peachland Legion Branch #69.

When the First World War interpretive plaque was originally commissioned in 2008 to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the war, little was known about three of Peachland’s fallen.

Since then, after years of work by Anne Wigfield, the historical society’s official researcher, photos of Lieutenant Jackson, Pte. Robert Laidlaw, and Pte. Harry Urquhart were found and have now been added to the plaque.

As well, newly discovered details of their lives have been added to their records.

“The plaque now displays photos of all 17 of our First World War fallen soldiers,” Peachland Historical Society president Barb Dionne told the View.

The ceremony was scheduled to take place at the Peachland Cenotaph at 11 a.m. on May 5, after this issue’s press time.

The plaque should now be on display at the Legion; a second copy can be viewed at the Cenotaph.

Many people criticize lack of action to abate human caused climate change on politicians. What a convenient scape goat. If I can blame someone else, I don’t have to blame myself for my own energy gobbling behaviour.

Case in point. Even after the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions were lifted coffee shop customers are still lined up at the drive through outlets. Customers are gobbling energy and emitting greenhouse gases while they are creeping forward in their vehicles. Why? Many people could make a different decision. They could park their vehicles, turn off their engines (gas or electric) and walk into the coffee shop. Think of the environmental and health benefits. And they might even chat with other customers; the chat benefit.

Next time you go to a coffee shop what decision will you make?

COMMENTARY

Local MP asks which would you prefer: More doctors or free pharmacare?

DAN ALBAS MP If you are in public office, “polls” are increasingly part of the territory.

Governments themselves increasingly pay for polling data.

In 2020 it was revealed that the Trudeau Liberal Government had tripled its spending on polls.

One of the reasons why governments spend your money on polling is to determine what decisions and policies will be more politically popular with certain voting demographics.

As an example, right before PM Trudeau called the “pandemic election” last year, polling by Ipsos revealed that roughly 80 per cent of Canadians supported the idea of mandatory vaccine mandates.

Over 70 per cent supported the idea of vaccine passports.

As we know PM Trudeau campaigned heavily on these things during the election despite previously rejecting the idea of vaccine passports claiming that they would create “divisive impacts on community and country.”

Another poll, this one from Angus Reid as reported by the Financial Post, also caught my attention.

The poll showed that 86 per cent of Canadians support a national pharmacare program.

This of course is one of the announced objectives between the recent backroom deal made between the Liberals and the NDP in Ottawa.

However, a recent Leger poll asked this question differently.

If a national pharmacare program came with a hike in the GST to pay for it,

the support dropped down to just 40 per cent.

The purpose of my report this week is not actually about polling despite the increasing use being a topic of interest.

My report is actually about the promise of a national pharmacare as promised by the Liberal/ NDP agreement.

Although pharmacare is a provincially funded and delivered program, I seldom hear complaints from citizens on the lack of availability of drugs or coverage from those in need.

Likely this is because B.C. already has an income based fully functional “Fair Pharmacare” program that works well that citizens in B.C. are already paying for.

This is a point raised

by Premier John Horgan, who on behalf of all provincial premiers,

PEACHLAND OFFICIA L 2022 VISITOR GUID E

has publicly pointed out that federal transfers for health care are the priority to deal with surgical backlogs over new federal program spending such as pharmacare.

This is consistent with what I hear from constituents with increasing alarm: the long surgery waitlists and lack of family doctors are pushing our provincial health care system to its limits.

My question this week: where do you see a greater need – more doctors or a national pharmacare program?

PEACHLAND RIDING CLUB The Peachland Riding Club kicked off our first weekend events of the season with a fabulous double header competition on Saturday and Sunday. What a great way to start the year!

We had higher than normal entries in both the Buckle Series Barrel Race events each morning and the Saturday and Sunday gymkhana events also saw an increase in participants over the past two years struggling through COVID protocols.

Our Saturday $100 Added Open Barrel Race was won by Nevada Dynneson of Oliver riding Justa Cadillac Queen and second was Candace Chevallier of Peachland riding Blue Tequila Lena. Also, on Saturday

the junior race was won by Bailey Sandvold of Kelowna, peewee winner was Molly Sanderson of West Kelowna and the senior was won by Donna Hinchcliffe of Lake Country.

The Saturday gymkhana included six different timed events with five different age categories and the highpoint champions were as follows: senior highpoint - Krista Jackson, West Kelowna and senior runner-up was her mom Gena Rome also of West Kelowna! Youth highpoint champion was Brook McGee of Kelowna and runner up was Lacey Baird of Princeton. Junior highpoint champion was Chloe Gautron from Peachland and runner up champion was Wesston Larsen of West Kelowna. The peewee highpoint was a 39-point tie

between Taylor Baranow and Molly Sanderson, both from West Kelowna! Our lead line division champion was little Lacy Isnardy of Peachland and runner up was Lane Froese of West Kelowna.

The Sunday events were held under beautiful sunny skies and the morning Buckle Series Barrel Race was again very well attended. The Open Division was again won by Nevada Dynesson and her phenomenal mare, Justa Cadillac Queen, and second on the open was won by Tiffany Munsy of Armstrong riding Fame Dun Bother Me. The junior was won by Chloe Gautron of Peachland, riding DQH Playboy Drifter. The peewee was again won by Molly Sanderson riding Cody.

Papa Thom kicked off the event with his beautiful voice; you could taste the energy in the room, and everyone was ready to fully enjoy the evening.

Cibo & Vines (Cherie and Tatyana) and 1st and Beach Bar and Grill (Katie) catered the event with their fantastic food served out of their decorated food-truck-styled tents. The guests’ feedback was unanimous; this was the best food ever!

Peachland Community Connects volunteered to operate the ticket booth and bar, and the Okanagan Folk School ran the raffle ticket sale.

Bruce Klippenstein opened the welcome with a unique cry, followed by Peachland Chamber president Greg Sewell, who introduced me as the emcee of the night.

A first certificate was awarded to Laura Coris from Johnston Meier Insurance during the opening address, celebrating their 30 years in business.

At 6:15, Niki Martinus sang her first set of the evening as guests perused the silent auction items, played some games (spin the wheel was trendy), and enjoyed their food and drinks and each other’s company.

Between 7 p.m. – 7:30 p.m., the first eight awards were presented to the awards recipients: BEEPS received the first award for Excellence in Tourism, and Westside Curb Appeal won Excellence in Trades.

In addition, Excellence in Community Services went to The Peachland Recovery Task Force for their excellent work during the pandemic.

Next up was Excellence in the Food Industry, awarded to Cibo & Vines.

Karen’s Place Hair and Body Works went home with the Excellence in Service Award, and Home-Based Business of the Year was awarded to Kayla Scott (Phenominail Beauty Bar).

Guests were very emotional when Kai Schierbeck (Kai’s Dog Biscuits), a twelveyear-old entrepreneur who makes dog biscuits (together with her grandmother), took away the Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award; on top of that, she received a five-year honorary membership to the Peachland Chamber, and myself, Patrick Van Minsel, became her first shareholder donating $500 to Kai. In addition, Mila Romaine from Edgewater Bar and Grill was awarded the Employee of the Year plaque.

Niki Martinus kicked off her second set of the evening, soon joined by a surprise performance from The Blues Brothers. Together they lit the place on fire.

Then it was time to present the final awards, a very emotional Ernie Sarsons accepted a plaque in the name of the Peachland Ambassadors for 75 years of work with the youth of Peachland.

We had two recipients in the Staff of the Year Award, first Budding Creations, followed by Bliss Bakery and Bistro. Entrepreneur of the Year went to Kristen Friesen, editor of The Phoenix Community News.

Finally, the Business of the Year was awarded to Hainle Vineyards Estate Winery.

We will present the award to Bella Huang, owner of the winery, when she returns from China.

This concluded our 2022 Awards Night, but I would be remiss if I did not thank all sponsors and volunteers without whom the event would not be possible.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

COMMENTARY

From the Mayor’s Desk: Splash pad restroom and SILGA 2022 MAYOR CINDY FORTIN Hello fellow Peachlanders, It sure has been nice to take off our masks and enjoy the intermittent sunny spring weather and smell the fresh air. It’s also great to be able to see the full faces of our friends and families.

As the COVID restrictions lift, other parts of the world are struggling with things that are much worse than mask wearing. Our hearts and thoughts are with the people of Ukraine and the horrors they are facing.

I would like to work within our community to find people who can open their homes to host Ukrainian refugees. Please give it some thought. You can contact me at mayorfortin@ peachland.ca or call 250 212 9416. I am also looking for organizations/people that can help with this. If you aren’t following my Facebook account of “Mayor Cindy Fortin”, please “friend” me as I will be sharing more information about this on there. Even if you can’t host a family there are other things that we can all do.

On a different topic, I

wanted to talk about what has become known as “the ugly green restroom by the splash pad”, and the cost to

Green Credits – Do you Qualify?

You may be eligible for a credit for water consumption costs, if: • Your property is between ½ and 2 acres and does not have farm status; • You grow food for direct human consumption on at least • ¼ acre of your property; • You have a water efficient irrigation system in place; • You have a separate meter to record irrigation consumption.

For more information, see ‘Green Credits’ on our website at http://www.peachland.ca/apps.

Applications must be received no later than 4:00 p.m. Monday, May 30, 2022.

build stairs or a ramp. There have been a lot of comments out there, and I think it’s safe to say that general public is not happy with the look, or cost, of them.

Council is not thrilled about it either. We make decisions based on the information we receive at the time, and I don’t think anyone expected the product we ended up with. Having said that, all of council has to own the decisions they made a while back and work to remedy it.

The difficult part is, if the money for the stairs or ramp is not approved by

the budget deadline that is coming up next week, the use of the splash pad would have had to be delayed for possibly another year. What we all did agree on is that we should continue to work with Interior Health to see if we convince them to not require us to have a restroom there for this year.

That would allow us to open the splash pad, and for us to find an alternative to these washrooms. I still feel that we need more than just the one two-stall restroom that is across the road, for safety reasons. As our population

continues to grow the number of people – particularly children – having to use the restroom has also grown.

It’s not as safe to have to cross the road than it is to have them in the park. One stall for women, one stall for men across the street, is just not enough – not on a warm and sunny summer day.

The cost has also gone up, but I think we’ve all seen how COVID and other factors have contributed to a crazy increase in home values and construction costs. Another factor is the shortage of contractors and their employees.

Whether we are happy with the increased costs or not, they will not get any less expensive the longer we wait.

If it turns out that we can sell them, we will find a better alternative. We are working on it.

The Southern Interior Local Government Association (SILGA)…

This year’s SILGA conference in Salmon Arm was the first in-person one since SILGA 2019 in Penticton.

SILGA provides an opportunity to represent your

community, discuss important local issues, advocate, network, and share solutions. Some of the topics of the conference included: Climate Change and Health; Lessons Learned from Wildfire Seasons in B.C.; Wildfire Risk Reduction; Attainable Housing; and more.

Delegates voted on number resolutions to go to UBCM (Union of BC Municipalities) that included: Family Physician Funding and Physician Retention; Local Government having Legislative Input in Forest Cutting Permits; Criminal Justice Reform for Repeat Offenders; RCMP Cost Sharing; and more.

One of the speakers was the Honourable Nathan Cullen, Minister of Municipal Affairs, who covered a multitude of topics, including: Wildfires and Floods, Watershed Security, Climate Change, RCMP costs, the sentencing of repeat offenders, Council Code of Conduct, and other local government issues.

We also had an address

by Her Honour Janet Austin, Lieutenant Governor of B.C., as well as our local MLA, Dan Ashton, who is also the Opposition Critic for Municipal Affairs. The keynote speaker was Jesse Wente on “Dreaming Our Future: Storytelling and Healing Our Way Forward”.

Wente is a member of the Serpent River First Nation (Ontario), and is a writer, broadcaster, speaker and arts administrator. In 2018 he was named the founding director of the Indigenous Screen Office, and in 2020 was appointed Chair of the Canada Council for the Arts. He held a captivated audience at SILGA with his words and storytelling.

The Central Okanagan Regional District (RDCO) – on which I sit as a Board Director -- won one of the Excellence Awards for “Environmental Sustainability” for our Flood Mitigation Planning.

The conference wrapped up with some words by Vernon Mayor Victor Cumming announcing that next year SILGA 2023 will be held in Vernon.

Enjoy the springtime, and I will talk with you soon.

Mayor Cindy.

COMMUNITY

Peachland Community Cleanup defies the weather and gets the job done PEACHLAND WATERSHED PROTECTION ALLIANCE Organized by the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance (PWPA), the Okanagan Forest Task Force, the annual Peachland community spring cleanup cleared many tonnes of garbage and metal from the Peachland and Trepanier watersheds, and the town of

Peachland.

Volunteers braved the rain and chilly weather and spent the day removing trash, abandoned vehicles, scrap metal, tires, and other assorted garbage. And like last year, they found another destroyed camper and a dead moose!

Illegal dumping in the Peachland backcountry is getting worse, compounded

by an increasing number of homeless camps, and other illegal camping set ups.

For the first time volunteers also recovered several syringes for multiple locations.

“This is a real danger to the wildlife population, as well as to people,” says Taryn Skalbania, PWPA director of outreach.

“An animal foraging or

browsing that encounters these needles could be severely injured in the same way that people can be.

Our wildlife is dealing with so many threats living in a compromised watershed, dirty needles is one they don’t need and cannot adapt to.”

By the end of the day, about 100 volunteers, with help from the District of

Peachland, Regional District Central Okanagan, GFL Waste, Tolko, Peachland Fire and Rescue Service, ABC Recycling, Pizzamoreh, Vicky Colonna, Sunrype, Greata Creek Camp, ZipZone staff, and Peachland Lions who provided a hot dog barbecue, filled a 40-cubic yard dumpster, three pick-up truck loads, several full

commercial garbage bins, and the huge ABC Recycling scrap metal container truck.

It may sound like a resounding success but just one day after the event residents reported more new garbage had been dumped overnight at one area that had been cleaned up just the day before.

Tons of illegally dumped scrap metal gets removed from Peachland’s watershed.

Peachland Fire and Rescue members Cameon Berlie, Eric Tupholme, Nicole Hemeon, Matt Hemeon and Matt Stoltz volunteered at the downtown clean up.

A volunteer in the Trepanier area clean up.

It’s already time to start planning your Peachland Fall Fair entries TAMI THERIAULT

PEACHLAND FALL FAIR This September 10 and 11, the Peachland Fall Fair will return after a twoyear hiatus.

We are excited to bring you a fun-filled fair, welcoming entries from all B.C. residents!

What should you enter into the fair? How about

a painting you made in a class you took? A quilt you created? Did you know that you can win ribbons and cash prizes for your creations? What a thrill it is to enter your item then come to the fair on Saturday to see if you earned a prize!

Our Peachland Fall Fair has the atmosphere and content of an old-fash-

ioned country fair, right in the heart of beautiful downtown Peachland.

This is a September event not to be missed!

Now is your opportunity to bake or preserve something, plant some seeds to nurture, crochet or knit something, carve or build, and take photographs. You might even win a prize!

We invite you to check

out our website to get a better idea of the scope of the annual Peachland Fall Fair. peachlandfallfair.ca If you are new in town and aren’t sure where to begin, speak to long-time residents about what they have entered into the fair.

Items may only be entered once; you may not enter the same items year after year - this will keep

you creating on a regular basis.

One of the sections that we lack the most in entries is the Juniors aged 12-17 years. So, teenagers - show us all the skills you learned during the COVID lockdown. Did you learn to bake? Enter your cakes, cupcakes, muffins, squares. Did you learn photography? Enter

your photos of people, animals, flowers and more.

For a complete list of items we accept, checkout our website.

Our booklets will be printed in May and will be available for pick up at various locations - we will keep you updated once we have them ready to go.

See you at the fair!
