Glasman’s other pri orities include fiscal responsibility, account ability, full disclosure, transparency and commu nication.
Pursuant to Section 227 of the Community Charter, notice is hereby given that Council will give final consideration to Property Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 2365, 2022 at a meeting of Council on the 27th day of September, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. which can be viewed live via webcasting at www.peachland.ca/watch.

Last week council heard that following the public hearing, the developer commissioned a floodplain hazard assessment for the proposed development.
Third reading for Clements Cres.
In response, the developer has committed to a pedestri an safety improvement plan as a zoning condition. The plan meets the school district recommendations and has the support of the school district traffic safety and planning staff, director of planning and development services Darin Schaal noted in his report to council.

Schaal said the devel opment proposal provides opportunities for family-ori ented housing, which will bolster enrollment at the adja cent elementary school.
With regard to neighbour hood character and density, a density analysis that was conducted found that the proposal is comparable with existing multi-residential de velopments in the Clements neighborhood.Concerns about envi ronmental protection, and floodplain issues in partic ular, had previously been raised by some members of council as well as the public.
Keith Fielding said his position is however beneficial it may be for the community to have this kind of housing, he believes this is absolutely the wrong place to put it. He voted in opposition to the “Weproposal.knowthat it’s an envi

Porchlight Developments’ proposal for a four-storey 84unit multi-residential building in the Clements neighbour hood received third reading from Peachland council last week.The developers are pro posing to amend the OCP for a portion of the property from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR) and to re zone the parcel from A2 Rural (non-ALR) to RM4 Multi-unit Residential – Medium Den sity and R1 Single Detached Residential to allow for the multi-residential development at 5481 Clements Cres., which is located between Peach land Elementary School and Trepanier Creek.
A public hearing in June drew nine written submis sions, including a petition and was attended by 11 members of the public, five of whom addressed council with their concerns, which included pedestrian safety and traffic, including emergency access; neighbourhood character and density; environmental protection and floodplain con cerns; and concern that the applicant will not be held ac countable for commitments.
Other multi-family de velopments that have been approved recently lack the affordability and rental type component offered by this development, which will help diversify Peachland’s housing offerings, he said.

Councillor Mike Kent said he feels the majority of concerns raised at the public hearing were addressed by the developer and added that Peachland businesses at the mall will benefit from density in the area.

Everyone is aware of that. I think the developer has gone above and beyond to meet all the needs of this de velopment, and for people who want to live in Peachland, have you seen the price of houses?

This will be a moderated debate. Every candidate will be given the opportunity to answer all the questions posed by the committee.
Thom continues to be a performing folk singer songwriter, whose chari table work as Papa Thom has raised over $100,000 for various charities since moving to Peachland in 2009.Thom is also past sec retary treasurer of the new seniors building, past director of the Southern Interior Government As sociation (SILGA) and a founding director of the Okanagan Folk School.
“We did need them for the water treatment plant, but we certainly did not need them for Turner Park improvements. We had residents with expertise and the skills to provide the specifications for what residents wanted on that property,” said Thom.
Retired entrepreneur Rainer Udala is hoping he will have a chance to make a difference on Peachland council this year.
He agrees that the community does need to relocate the fire hall to the proposed location but, in doing so he will pro pose that the town sell off t he property that current ly houses the fire hall and d istrict offices to offset the cost of building the new fire hall construc tion.Thom’s priorities in clude sewers, sidewalks, and appropriate infrastruc ture in place across the community. He believes that if we can save up mon ey for a spray park, surely, we can do the same for sewers.

Among Udala’s priorities is the need to achieve more growth in the downtown area that will offer some thing to local businesses; he believes if more people lived downtown they would shop in their local community.
Udala says they need to find revenue not through tax es or government handouts but through being more cre ative about how they create monies for infrastructure.
Udala sees the focus on building in the back end of downtown rather than right on Beach Ave as by putting larger buildings next to the highway it would cut off noise.“People have watched me. If I say I’m going to do something, I get it done,” Udala told the View. “You need to contribute in some way to society and I feel like this is something I can do.”

• Utilize social media. In years past, men and women over 50 may not have had any readily available tools to reach out and connect with new people. Social media has made it much easier to build such connections. Even the most obscure passions likely have a social media group of locals devoted to them, and these groups can be great ways to meet new people. A local runner’s club may have its own social media accounts, and local governments and commu nity groups often share information about sports leagues and other groups via social media.
• Sign up for group outings. Communities often spon sor group outings to museums, the theatre, sporting events, and other day trips. Signing up for a bus trip to a local museum presents a great opportunity to meet people who share your interests, providing the potential to build lasting friendships built on a foundation of shared interests.

Making friends after 50 can be challenging. However, various strategies can help men and women over 50 con nect with new people.
Making friends after 50 might not be as simple as it was during your school days, but these strategies can help men and women in midlife build new friendships.

How to make new friends after 50
Hobbies and other pursuits outside of work are often more fun when enjoyed with friends. People over 50 un doubtedly recognize that it’s not always so easy to make new friends, even though it’s undeniably beneficial to have supportive relationships into your golden years. A 2017 study from researchers at Michigan State University found that valuing friendships was a stronger predictor of health and happiness among older adults than valuing family. Those results align with an earlier Australian study that found Australians age 70 or older tended to live significant ly longer if they had more strong friendships.
The early years of midlife are a hectic time for many people. Around the time many people reach their late 30s and early 40s, they’re balancing the responsibilities of a career and a family. But as people enter their 50s, some of those responsibilities tend to be less significant, leaving more time for recreational pursuits.
side of work or passions they hope to pursue now that they have more time to commit to such pursuits. The more in terested you are in a given activity, the more likely you are to stick with it. And the longer you stick with something, the more likely you are to meet like-minded individuals (i.e., future friends) willing to make similar commitments.

50s doesn’t mean your friends have to be. Don’t hesitate to invite younger or older acquaintances and colleagues over for dinner or on weekend excursions. Friends come in all shapes, sizes and ages, so you could be missing out if you’re not willing to extend a hand in friendship to people of different ages and backgrounds.
