Council highlights from January 10th Bad driver flees from police Water Treatment Plant Alternative Approval Process – Certificate Of Sufficiency
Council received the Certificate of Sufficiency dated December 8, 2017 pertaining to the Peachland Water Treatment Plant and Interconnect Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 2208, 2017, which authorizes the borrowing of up to Nine Million Two Hundred and Eighty – Five Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty – Six Dollars.

The Green Citizen Award is to be selected by the Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change, with input from local elementary -aged school children. The award will go to a local citizen or family making choices that protect and restore our natural environment. Its purpose is to heighten awareness of environmental issues and to encourage Peachland residents to act individually and collectively to conserve our water and energy resources.

The vehicle was discovered later, though it had been ditched along Como Road near Fisher Road on the edge of East Kelowna “The vehicle has since been seized by police and remains part of our ongoing investigation.” The cops are looking for clues. Anybody who might know something is being asked to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.
The RCMP are hoping to find out more about a driver who escaped from their orbit. It was at 2:18 p.m. last Friday when police were dealing with an unrelated car crash, conducting traffic control on Highway 33 near Joe Rich. An officer was informed by a motorist that another driver – somebody lined up in traffic operating a burgundy Dodge Ram pickup truck – had been seen driving erratically.

Total fabrication Vocal minority acts mob-like Dear C.Smithson (Sunshine Coast): It was with great interest I read your last week’s letter to the editor. Although I never recall meeting you, you seem to know a great deal about me. But saying that the content of your letter concerning myself was not entirely the truth is an understatement. The part you had correct was that I am considering running for council this upcoming election. However, writing I am going to run with a full chamber slate and on a platform of development above everything else is a total fabrication of your imagination. It always surprises me how people can just write what they want without even checking the facts or speaking with the person that they are going to write about. Just talking to each other would resolve many misunderstandings and miscommunications. A fact is that I am a resident and taxpayer in Peachland. A fact is that I am a Canadian Citizen. A fact is that as a Chamber manager I work for the Chamber Board of Directors and our membership. A fact is that I have a wife, two cats, and a dog (yes in that order). A fact is that I frequent Bliss on a regular basis. A fact is that I am fortunate to have many Peachlanders I can call friends. A fact is that I love living in this town and will be here for many more years. A fact is that I support smart development BUT NOT “at any cost.” A fact is that I do not possess the magical power to make other people run for council. A fact is that I am always willing to listen and talk to everyone. Kind Regards, Patrick Van Minsel Peachland * C Smithson of Sunshine Coast is not to be confused with Carol Smithson (formerly of Miller Road)
Dear editor:
The minority group that opposes the PeachTree Village development, seems to have more than its fair share of n o t-ver y-n ic e people. I refer to the liars and bullies who lie, threaten and insult in their voluminous letters to the ed-
itor. They take these hooligan traits to public meetings where they try to achieve mob rule by atrocious behavior. Their minority views should be treated with respect but not their loutish behavior. Derek Coyle Peachland
OCP amendment is basically a referendum Dear editor: They say you can’t fight city hall ... and win. Well I don’t think that should stop you from doing what’s right. I believe the Peachland Council in their decision to approve the PeachTree Village project is dead wrong. The developer wants to develop his property and he has every right to do so. Property rights are very important to me. I believe every property owner has right to do what they want with their property, within the rules of the community they live in. The OCP is the official plan of Peachland. Me and others who oppose this project shouldn’t have to petition the court to decide who’s right. This cluster fiasco lies at the feet of the council and planning dept. By amending the OCP for this one project they are basically putting forward a referendum to the people. My hope is common sense will prevail. Rob Taylor Peachland
Calm down and get some perspective Dear editor: Peachland taxpayers should consider what happened to Naramata taxpayers years ago when a developer, Blackwell Stores Ltd, took legal action against the Naramata Irrigation District for damages and collected $5.2 million. Might the “Friends of Beach Avenue” (FOBA) court action lead us into the same pit if it succeeds? The Welbridge vs Winnipeg case from the Supreme Court of Canada held that mere negligence or oversight on the part of a Council in the course of a rezoning would not give rise to any damages for a developer, but the judges did not rule out damages if the claim was based on bad faith or breach of contract (as was the case in Naramata). If the judge in the FOBA lawsuit makes a finding of bad faith, and if PeachTree sues (hopefully not) damages could be awarded. Although PeachTree has not yet broken ground, it has no doubt incurred high expenses for land acquisition, engineering, legal, accounting, design, surveys, plans, inspections, ground studies, marketing, wages, open house costs etc. The FOBA supporters may be misunderstanding the rest of us silent majority. It is not that we actively support PeachTree or five stories or four, but rather we support and respect our elected Mayor and Council and the many hours they have spent studying this issue and making the best possible decision for all of us on the benefits of PeachTree. I suggest that Council did not ignore or forget the OCP three story provision,
they considered that provision and many other goals and provisions in the OCP and decided PeachTree met most (but not every one) of these terms. The recent B.C. Supreme Court case of “Residents and Ratepayers of Central Saanich Society vs Saanich(District)” 2011, involved a Society like FOBA that sued to overturn a developer’s rezoning because it did not comply with the OCP. The Court dismissed the claim and deferred to Council’s judgment on the matter, saying “It is obviously not possible to promote each of the many objectives of the OCP equally in every single instance…” Our Mayor and Councillors have had to deal with many trying disasters over the last year or so: The Renfrew Rd mudslide, fires, the Water treatment plant mudslide damage, lake flooding, public dock destruction and now this lawsuit, and the abuse and accusations made by some of those who disagree with their decision. Yes, the District may win the lawsuit anyway, but by passing a one-word amendment to the OCP we all avoid the mess and stress of the lawsuit and the endless harsh words and accusations appearing in social and print media, all of which do more harm to Peachland’s reputation and tranquility, in my view, than any five-storey building. Let’s all calm down and get some perspective. The people living in Aleppo, Somalia, Yemen and Sudan would dearly love to have a five-storey building as their only problem. Peter Warner Peachland

Pincushion is in peril
Dear editor:
This is a huge story and it is about time the cover ups ceased. I read with great interest your story with the two pictures of the destroyed BMW on the property below the Pincushion Mountain (no, the rock did not fall out of the sky but it’s path could have been tracked to the source right after the accident and almost certainly would be the Pincushion Mountain). I have been warning council and numerous others including the Ponderosa Developer that this was likely to happen as I had seen it happen in the past when I was living on our family farm (today’s Ponderosa) but there were no houses there then or BMWs to be
destroyed. Patricia Guest’s house could easily have been hit by the rock and some day one from that mountain may be fatal or cause devastating damage. Of course the Geological Engineer told the golf course developer, what they wanted to hear. Perfectly safe… BS. The town being greedy too, for tax money went along with this and should be partly liable for any future similar disasters. Citizens are in very real danger. All that for greedy developers that are in bankruptcy to the tune of $83 million dollars. Richard Smith Peachland
OPINION
Peachland’s political antics are infamous Dear editor: Peachland’s size is eclipsed by its fame, or at least, by it’s infamy. A West Kelowna man laughed, saying he always checked the View for reports of our political antics. How he must enjoy the latest: “Police protect Council from unruly mob” The mob was protesting approval of only the second development on Beach Avenue in twenty years. Is that an anti development symptom, or what?? Fourteen years ago approval of the Gateway Development was opposed by a similar storm of ritual protest. Today the Gateway stands out as the most attractive commercial establishment on Beach Avenue. The others are dated and quaint as are the numerous modest residences, many of which are rentals.
Fake news and a lot of doggie do-do
Dear editor:
In the letter “In Defense of dogs” (Jan 05/18), the writer states that Peachland “has only two types of people, dog lovers and dog haters”. The writer also wrote “people who don’t believe that dogs should be allowed to run free on our beaches (or anywhere), are dog haters”. A little dramatic! I think you’ll find that most of the people who write letters about dogs, love dogs but disrespect the irresponsible owners who ignore the rules. Dogs are like kids. I love some, I like some and I want to keep a distance from the annoying and mean ones. There are two types of dogs… people lovers and people haters. Dogs don’t need defending since it’s their nature to run free and protect their space. It is the owners who teach them manners and obedience. All residents contributed to build the beautiful Beach walkway, built for everyone to enjoy. People who are uncomfortable around dogs or allergic should be able to walk relaxed,
alongside people walking their leashed dogs. Many seniors indicate that they worry when other dogs are off-leash in case one decides to attack their small dog. I am very tense when dogs I do not know are off-leash. During tourist season, I don’t know most dogs and their keepers so I feel safer if dogs are on a leash and under control. I would be freaking if all dogs were loose on the beach and walk. Our tax dollars have created numerous ‘dog parks’ where people can choose to be among off-leash dogs. In summer we dodge bikes, skate boarders, runners, walkers and dogs. An unleashed dog is not as controlled. I keep to the right side of the Beachwalk yet often I have had to walk around a dog because the dog wants to sniff on the wrong side. Dogs run up faster and appear to be ready to jump on or bite me until the owner yells or grabs them. I’ve had to walk around dog poop along the Beachwalk which would have been seen if the dog was on a leash. I’ve been close to dogs that go after
other dogs. I’ve seen dogs poop on the kids playground before the owner got there and had to ask him to pick it up. Poor kid that rolls on that same spot. Yuk! I think people who love their dogs would also be concerned that their off-leash dog may run out into traffic or get grabbed by the growing number of thieves. As far as the UK having less dog regulations and UK dogs only requiring a chip, I found that the UK Dogs Act regulations appear tougher than RDCO and with big fines. The addendums made in current years, actually add tighter controls plus they have a Dangerous Dog Act which states; “Something as simple as your dog chasing, barking at or jumping up at a person or child could lead to a complaint, so ensure that your dog is under control at all times”. Yes, in the UK since 2012 it is compulsory to microchip a dog at 8 weeks of age but at the same time the dog must be registered with a database compliant organization. If you buy from a
Sorry about the last letter Dear editor: I wish to write an apology to anyone I offended from my letter asking people to remove cars/ trucks and debris from the road so snowplows can get through. Many people do not have a garage and their lane ways are full of other household things. Please, just park 10 inches closer to your lot line. This will help im-
mensely, so walkers and cars can get by safely. Beach Avenue and 13th Street are our only sidewalks. Don’t be angry at the messenger for speaking out for road safety. Thank you to all that shovel for others to walk and drive. Lucy Anderson Peachland
breeder or if you move, you as the “Keeper” then have to update the microchip and database. This sounds like a dog registration to me, and I’m sure there’s a fee each time you update. It shows too that the dog licensing fee was increased, so there appears to be a licensing program.
Interesting statement from www. safepets.co.uk (UK) dated Nov 24, 2017: “Having dog-specific laws in place may seem unreasonable, however, they were created, and are implemented, for society’s safety, as well as that of the dog.” Wendy Ward Peachland

Tombstone Arizona is another town with a main street adorned with structural relics of the past. Among others is the OK Corral where the famous Gun Fight is re-enacted daily. Tombstone’s relics attract the tourism that supports their economy. With no natural assets Tombstone survives by capitalizing on a colourful history. Unfortunately Peachland’s relics are unattractive and re-enactments of Peachland’s history will never draw flies. But Peachland does have a superb natural asset, 14 kilometres of lakeshore that includes real estate with the potential to attract desirable Gateway type development increasing the tax base and providing stable employment. How long will the majority of Peachlanders remain silent while unaccountable, irresponsible mobs set our image and derail the best efforts of Council to capitalize on the lake lands to create an even more attractive community but also, one with a viable and sustainable economy?

Jeers to the sun for forgetting about the Okanagan Cheers to the Westside U8 Strikers for putting the Turner Park sport box to great use with their outdoor game Cheers to provinces that are raising minimum wage to a livable rate Jeers to residents who do not shovel their sidewalks for pedestrians after a snow fall. If fact, the district neglected to shovel the path connecting IGA and Harold walkways and Chidley St trailer Park until Jan. 4 – six days after the snowfall!!

Mayor shouldn’t chair You can’t just ignore the OCP Dear editor:
Dear editor:
In order for the Peachland residents labeled as unruly and insulting by their elected officials to regain their council’s respect and in order for the Peachland council labeled liars and untrustworthy by their constituents to regain the respect of those residents , a suggestion would be appointing a neutral Chair for the Jan. 30 public hearing. The Sept 5-17 council meeting and Jan 9-18 COTW and council meetings clearly exhibited disorganisation, lack of control and showcased how out of touch council is with their constituents. The Mayor can use her prerogative to appoint an experienced chair or professional facilitator to run the meeting: School Trustee, Moira Baxter, has been suggested as an excellent candidate. These propositions will surly assist in a fair and judicious public hearing for the benefit of all. After the emergency call out for the RCMP at last week’s regular council meeting, it can be anticipated the attendance for next week’s public hearing will swell considerably, clearly the taxpayers of Peachland have a great deal to say on the issue of a five story high rise on Beach Avenue and they plan to attend, not only to state their opposition for amending the OCP, but to enjoy the coffee and doughnuts! With the reality of the 6 story seniors housing looming on the horizon, it is doubtful any residents can stand up at a microphone and openly admit they want the same facade lining Beach Avenue, blocking the lake. Unlike what Council is telling its voters, a public hearing is indeed a numbers game, and if the results are not immediately apparent by third and final reading, they become crystal clear come Municipal re-election day.

It’s difficult to comprehend what motivates city councillors to attempt to undermine the integrity of our Official Community Plan (OCP) only to create a few more square feet of commercial pace, when there already is plenty of empty spaces on both sides of us, like Summerland, Westbank and West Kelowna. Should there ever be a real need for more commercial space, there are a lot of properties along Beach avenue that are suitable for commercial development, without going above the three-storey limit. If the city had prospective businesses knocking on the door with proposals that would translate into a number of full time well paying long term jobs, it would warrant some consideration. The notion that local businesses supply the city with desperately needed tax revenues is also a misnomer. Tourism is not a sustainable business model, offering mostly part time employment, paying low wages during the summer season, leaving a lot of poor people unemployed during off season. That in turn translates into higher social costs for the city, that
combined with discounted business taxes and development cost charges translates into even higher taxes for Peachland homeowners. If Mike Kent is correct about Council being able to change the OCP, against massive opposition by the people, then our OCP has been sterilized, and the political process at our city hall is no longer a by-the-people, for-the-people, to-serve-the-people democratic process that it should be. If we let City Council sterilize our OCP, all future development is out of control, and the doors are wide open for our current and future city councils to develop Peachland willy nilly. Combined with city council’s decision to use that fight-it-if-youdon’t-like-it alternative approval process to borrow almost indiscriminately, spending and taxation will also be out of control. If we want to stop this train wreck, it means we all have to go to the open house Jan. 30, and tell city council we do not want to change the OCP, and that we do not want any buildings on Beach Avenue that are more than three storeys high.

Not opposed to the first three storeys Dear Mr. Bunce: You misquoted me. You said I had said on CHBC news “that the majority of Peachland residents are against the PeachTree Village development.” I did not say that. In fact, I am not against the PeachTree development. I just want it to be three storeys, not five. What I did say was that the “Official Community plan is not a bible, but it does reflect the views of the majority of residents.” And if you doubt that is what I said, all you have to do is look at the CHBC news video clip itself which I posted both on Peachland
Neighbours and The Friends of Beach Avenue Facebook pages on Jan. 8. On Jan. 30 Peachland residents will finally get a chance to say whether they want to amend the OCP regarding three storeys on Beach. I urge everyone to attend. On Oct. 9 there will be a municipal election. I encourage everyone to remember this issue before they vote. Randey Brophy Peachland * Letter shortened for space. See full version at peachlandview.com

Silver Lake Camp has struck gold. An extremely generous donation from Peachlanders Robin and Monique Walley will put the forestry centre $20,000 ahead. Keith Thom, Silver Lake’s director of fundraising and promotions, said the Walley’s initially committed to a $5,000 donation—and that amount was more than enough for him to rejoice. “I showed up expecting a $5,000 donation and it just continued to rise as I told them about the various projects we have planned at the camp,” Thom said. “They both hugged me at least twice thanking me for reminding them about all of our funding challenges, and as I’m walking out of a house with a big beautiful donation, I was thinking, ‘they’re hugging and thanking me?’ It should be the other way around. They were just so happy to know their money is going to something tangible and local.” Thanks to the donation, Thom said some projects on the horizon will be able to get underway this spring, rather than next year. That includes a new and improved water system—something Interior Health has been asking of that camp at a cost of $5,000. Another $5,000 is needed to upgrade the teacher resource building, where the camp counsellors stay, in order for it to provide the shelter with adequate heat and electricity. “We’re looking at getting natural gas heaters in every cabin – even in
BETTY SUTHERLAND
July and August there can be cool evenings.” Currently, counselors are unable to take hot showers or charge their phones after 10 p.m. “So we want to run natural gas into that house for heating and hot water,” Thom said. “We want to do solar generation so they can plug in computers and mobile phones. We want to make that house a little more modern than what’s already available in the kids’ cabins.” During times of the year when Silver Lake isn’t being used as a summer camp, the upgraded cabins will also serve as another source of revenue. “Say some people wanted to go on a small family retreat, if seven or eight wanted to go up in the dead of winter —now they have a nice cozy place they can rent.” That will help to extend the business season into the winter months, and eventually, Thom hopes to bring the winter hibernation to an end. “We’re hoping that by next year or the year after, we’ll never actually
shut down the camp, which we can do if we get enough winter bookings to keep it open.” The remainder of the Walley’s donation will be spent on maintenance of the kid-friendly zipline, as well as new toys for the lake. Thom said there’s a shortage of canoes and kayaks which can now get increased “And more stuff we can have like that makes it exciting for the kids,” like fishing gear and floating slides. The Walley’s were happy that their donation is one that benefits the youth of Peachland. “The Okanagan is a real playground for grown ups but there’s not a whole lot going on for kids,” Monique said. “I remember my daughter enjoying her time as a camper there when she was younger. We’d hate to see such an amazing facility not being utilized.”

Peachland Community Arts Council swamped by busy start to 2018 CHRIS BYRD
ing and an eye-opener for those wishing to know more about Canadian bush life. Refreshments will follow. Tickets are limited to 50 seats and can be reserved by contacting the Gallery at 250-767-7422. A reminder that if in the end you cannot attend the talk, in fairness to others and the guest speaker, please either inform the gallery, return the tickets, or hand them on to others. The Peachland Art Gallery has a call out to all Okanagan and area fine art photographers interested in submitting their work to the third Annual Captured Images Exhibition which will be held from Feb. 17 to April 1. The six week exhibition provides a rare opportunity for fine art photographers to showcase their images among those of other notable photographic artists in the region over an extended period. Photographers are asked to download the submission form from the PCAC website and submit images of their work to the Gallery by the Jan. 29 deadline. On Jan. 17, Wayne Power began a Refresher Series of art lessons at the Peachland 1898 Little Schoolhouse. If you haven’t painted for a while and want to get motivated, that is you feel a need to “get back to the basics” or just want to try a new medium, this is your opportunity. The Arts Council is sponsoring a series of six adult workshops at the Little Schoolhouse this month. The class size is limited at a very reasonable cost of $60 per person paid at the first session. There are 13 possible attendees thus far so don’t leave your decision much longer. Please e-mail Sharon at themphees@ telus.net or call 250-767-6556. Roberta Farrelly will teach a sixweek Beginners Acrylic Workshop at the Peachland 1989 Little Schoolhouse starting on Jan. 22. This workshop, also
PEACHLAND COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL Welcome back to the World of the Arts! The Peachland Community Arts Council has opted to make your entry into 2018 an especially creative one by sponsoring a good number of events that will stir up your innate, hidden talents to fizzing point! This past Saturday, Jan. 13, the Peachland Art Gallery held its Opening Reception of the New Year celebrating Ekphrastic. The traveling exhibition features an initiative of the Fibre Art Network combining stunning works of 48 Fibre Artists and 12 Canadian Poets. Among the artists are Marianne Parsons and Janet Bednarczyk, two very familiar to the Peachland Gallery. Ekphrastic is an adjectival form of a Greek word that implies the dramatic description of a piece of art expressed through poetry. The symbiotic interplay between the two art forms (literary and visual) may actually enhance the impact of both. Each of the Canadian poets’ poems in the exhibition is represented by four fabric art pieces. Coffee and sweets will be served at the opening with some of the artists present. The exhibition runs until Feb. 10. On Friday, Jan. 19 at 7 p.m., the Peachland Community Arts Council will be holding another event of its Lecture series at the Peachland Art Gallery – An autobiographic Powerpoint presentation by local author Blair Jean titled Rancher, Miner, Musher, Author: A Gellatly Descendant. Jean has experienced multiple ventures in the northern wilderness of BC and Alberta and will be covering much of what you’ll find in his books which he will have on display. The evening promises to be highly entertain-
sponsored by the PCAC is aimed at those who want to learn a new hobby. Roberta has taught many local beginners to become accomplished artists; her Friday Art Club (Passion for Art) is a good example. The course is $60 with the supply list on display at the Gallery. Please call Sharon 250-767-6556 or e-mail themcphees@telus.net for information and to register.

On Jan. 27, Joanne Fisette will teach a variety of fabric techniques in the Peachland Little Schoolhouse from 10 to 4 pm. These will include: transferring images, painting on cloth, making stencils, printing with alternative methods to a gelli plate, incorporating design/ mark-making, creating fabric paper, and learning techniques to create fabric journals with provided materials. The workshop fee is $50 and includes
all supplies. The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra will perform its first 2018 concert with OSO: Viennese Delights—Masterwork III at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Jan. 19 at 7:30 p.m. They’ll be accompanied by Nancy Hermiston’s acclaimed UBC Opera Ensemble singing charming melodies from Lehar’s whimsical Merry Widow and Strauss’ hilarious Die Fledermaus all favourites of the operetta stage. This charming Viennese evening will also feature gorgeous waltzes performed with dancers from City Dance Studio. You’re invited to come in your favourite ball gown for a magical evening of song and dance. The OSO will also perform in Penticton at the Cleland on Saturday 20 at 7:30 pm and Vernon at the Performing Arts Theatre on Sunday 21 at 7:00 pm. Meanwhile on Friday, January 19 of the same evening from 7 to 9 pm, an opening reception will be held for members and friends of the Kelowna Art Gallery for Joice M. Hall’s exhibition GWAII HAANAS—Islands and Sacred Sites. This is a painting installation inspired by 1600 digital photographs that Hall captured during a two-week artist residency in Haida Gwaii in 2016. Hall was one of three artists that participated in the 2016 annual Artists in Gwaii Haanas residency program, presented by the Haida Gwaii Museum in collaboration with Gwaii Haanas/Parks Canada. Hall is a realist painter who spent most of her career in Calgary before moving to Kelowna in 1999. The exhibition will run from January 20 to April 1. Have all these activities stirred your passion to get involved in something special this 2018? Let’s hope so! (Or has your resolution been forgotten already— oh no!!!!!!)

COMMUNITY
Byelection called next-door VIEW STAFF The by-election to replace Christy Clark in the Liberal stronghold of Westside-Kelowna will be held on Feb. 14. Shelley Cook, a former executive director at the John Howard Society, will be running again under the NDP banner. She lost to Clark during last year’s election, finishing in second police with less than half as many votes as the former Premier. The Liberals also threw a familiar face back into the ring – Ben Stewart, the former MLA who stepped down so Clark could handily win a seat after losing her own in the 2013 general election. After Clark won the seat in a by-election, Stewart was appointed as the BC Special Representative in Asia, which offered
an annual salary of $150,000. “Representing the constituents of Kelowna West and serving British Columbia has been the honour of my lifetime, and I’m humbled by the community’s support and this opportunity to serve again,” Stewart said. “My team and I are ready to work hard and win this by-election – now all we need is for the NDP to call it so I can get back to standing up for jobs and a strong economy, here in the Okanagan and throughout B.C.” Cook also released a statement saying she’s honoured to represent the constituents of West Kelowna. “I’m honoured to run again as the BC NDP candidate in my home riding of Kelowna West, and to stand with Premier John Horgan,” Cook said.
“I’m so proud of the work John Horgan’s BC NDP government has done to make life more affordable, deliver better services to people, and promote good-paying jobs and opportunity for everyone. I’m eager to be a part of what comes next.” The Green Party is throwing in political newcomer Robert Stupka, an Urban Systems engineer who originally immigrated to Canada from Switzerland. “The Kelowna West riding is one of Canada’s fastest growing regions with some of the best economic performance,” Stupka said. “The exceptional quality of life attracted me to live here. The potential of the region has led me to build my family and home here and has inspired me to make a positive contribution to its future.”

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our dearly beloved father, grandfather and great grandfather Morris Kerr December 6th / 2017 at the age of 96. Morris is predeceased by his loving wife of 56 years Grace (Patchett) Kerr and their cherished middle child Colin. He leaves his eldest son Brian (Jan Went); devoted son Stewart & wife Janet (Hornseth); his 4 grandchildren Brydie (Russ), April (Kale); Cody and Dustin (Mackenzie); His 6 great grandchildren, Reese (9), Liam (8), Lea (6), Charlie (5), Bates (4), Kayson (1 month); His sisterin-law Joy Kerr and numerous nieces and nephews. Morris was born in Dunfermline, Scotland January 23rd, 1921. After completing high school, he began an architectural apprenticeship and attended Herriot-Watt College in Edinburgh on a Carnegie scholarship. In 1940, as a result of first aid and medical training within the Rover Scouts, the Red Cross and St. John’s he is recruited into the medical corps and is posted to a R.A.F. squadron just outside London. In January of 1941 he is sent to Canada with the R.A.F. arriving in Halifax and then on to Medicine Hat for the opening of the #34 Service Flying Training School. In 1942 he is posted back to Britain to Air Sea Rescue in the North Sea. Next, he goes to India with the first convoy through the Mediterranean in 1943. His itinerary included through the Suez to Bombay, by train to Calcutta, truck to Chittagong and eventually truck to Cox’s Bazaar and Burma. After 10 months and four bouts of malaria he was moved out to a rest area in Darjeeling. On to Ceylon (Sri Lanka) back to Jessore, just north of Calcutta for parachute training. He is then assigned to the army Force #136 (Special Force). The end of the Japanese War found him in Singapore, where he waited 5 months for a ship home in May of 1946 to Britain. Later that year he travelled to a job in Montreal with an architectural firm, W.J. Rosenburg, then on to Calgary with a position with Stevenson and Associates where he stayed for 27 years, becoming a partner in 1954.In May of 1948 he married the love of his life Grace Patchett who

hailed from a ranching family around Gem, Ab. They purchased a quarter section on the little Red Deer River near Cremona (affectionately named Kerraglen) where Grace kept her four horses and the family spent many happy weekends and summers. Morris designed and built a retirement home on the property but as often happens with “the best laid plans” after meeting his granddaughter Brydie in Kelowna, they sold that property, purchased 5 acres in the Mission area in January of 1982, moved the horses out and Morris designed another retirement home, this one he would actually live in. The Okanagan was a great fit, allowing Morris the opportunity to golf and Grace to quilt and garden. Between time spent at KG & CC, he did architectural work for five years with Reid, Crowther and Partners, Don Folk and BC Hydro at the Mica Dam. Many happy weekends spent with the grandkids riding horses and participating in swim lessons with Grandpa. His unorthodox method consisted of strapping the grandkids into a horse’s belly strap attached to a pole while he walked laps around the pool. Morris has always been able to give back a little of his time for community affairs and a few include the Medicine Hat Rotary Club, President, Kiwanis Club Calgary, 1965, Lt. Governor, Kiwanis 1966 where he received a presidential citation in recognition of the organization of a new club in Canmore, Ab,Honorary President of the Burns Club Calgary, Past Director of the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede, Chairman and Director Salvation Army Advisory Board Calgary, President of Kelowna(Downtown) Rotary Club 1988 -89 and self-described Kelowna Golf & Country Club Senior’s Scribe. For all of his accomplishments Morris was a humble man who lived a life of gratitude. His final years were lived enjoying many visits from his family, particularly his great grandchildren who gave him many laughs and were a source of great pride. Morris’ family is forever grateful to his caregivers at Lakeview Lodge / West Kelowna who treated him with kindness and respect in his final year of life. A private family service will be held at Kerraglen on the Little Red Deer River near Cremona, Alberta in the spring of 2018. Memorial donations may be made to the Salvation Army, an organization near and dear to Morris’s heart or a charity of your choice. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com “What a great life it has been, I have been a lucky man”. August 2017
