Consider composting pumpkins Fortin elected Mayor by random draw DAN WALTON EDITOR
editor@peachlandview.com
VIEW STAFF There are several ways to recycle pumpkins, and now that Halloween has come and gone, there may be a few old jack-o-lanterns laying around. The Regional District of Central Okanagan is encouraging carvers to dispose of their pumpkins in an environmental way. For starters, they lead to excellent results iun the springtime for backyard composters,according to the Regional Waste Reduction Office. “Pumpkins are high in nitrogen, an excellent material to add to your backyard compost bin,” says Waste Reduction Facilitator Rae Stewart. “If you chop them up into small pieces with some fall leaves, it will break down just that much faster. Next spring you’ll have a great nutrient rich soil amendment
to add to your flower beds or veggie patch.” Pumpkins can also be disposed of in a yard waste bin. Pickups dates are available through the Living Greener Calendar, the MyWaste app, or regionaldistrict. com/recycle (Yard waste pick- up ends for the year on Nov. 30). And for anybody with pumpkings that are still in good shape, free of damage or debris, think about using it to bake or make soup with. When toasted or baked, pumpkins can be rich in potassium and protein. When it comes to all the candy and wrappers that are a staple of Halloween –good news: some recycling depots are now accepting candy wrappers as part of the other flexible packaging recycling pilot program.

Leave it up to Peachand to make municipal politics interesting. After being told on election night that she lost by one vote, Cindy Fortin came back to tie the game and force overtime. Then in a random draw – a mechanism of democracy many Peachlanders found hard to believe – her name was yanked out of a box. The judicial recount was Oct. 29 in the council chambers. It took hours for Fortin and Harry Gough’s combined 1,608 votes to get counted for a third time (this time officially). Since Fortin thoroughly observed the second count – the one that revealed a tie instead of a loss – she felt confident the judicial recount would confirm there were in fact 804 votes each. “They did the unofficial count so carefully,” she said. “I was pretty sure it was going to come out the same.” Fortin said she didn’t become nervous until the time came for the random draw and a box was brought out. It was hard to believe it was actually happening. “Are they really going to decide this by pulling a name out of a box? I thought that was the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard.” As the draw was about to take place, Fortin and Gough were standing side by side and shook hands. Both candidates agreed the pieces of paper with their names on it were folded in the same manner by provincial court Judge Ellen Burdett before they were placed in a box. The box was thoroughly shaken up by chief election officer Polly Palmer. Palmer opened the lid, Burdett turned her head with her eyes closed, reached in and unfolded one slip of paper. “I declare Cindy Fortin elected as Mayor,” said Burdett. Fortin covered her face with both hands and was congratulated by Gough, who was in good spirits and very understanding. Fortin said sorry to Gough. “It’s the rule of law,” he said. “Definitely nerve wracking,” Fortin said afterwards. But despite coming out on top of the whole ordeal, “I never want to go through that again,” Fortin said. “And I don’t want anyone else to either. I don’t think it’s the ideal way of governing. I would have rather had a runoff election.” She said it’s too early to know when that bylaw can be changed, but “I really hope this new council will review and change that.”
Gough was “Really gracious about it,” she said. “I do feel bad for Harry and his friends and family. It must have just been a rollercoaster for them, to hear they won and then the recount showed a tie.” For a runoff election to have happened, the District needed to specify it in a bylaw as the preferred method to break a tie after a judicial recount – and it had to be decided at least 56 days before the municipal election. Every municipal government in B.C. has to have such a bylaw to decide how to break ties. Back in May when Peachland council was presented with “A Bylaw to Provide for the Determination of Various Procedures for the Conduct of Local Government Elections and Other Voting,” it was seen as a housekeeping item and garnered very little attention before getting passed unanimously.
“
When it came to council several months ago, we didn’t think about ‘what if it’s a tie’”
“When it came to council several months ago, we didn’t think about ‘what if it’s a tie,’” Fortin said. During the regular council meeting on Oct. 23 – just a day after the unofficial recount declared a tie – Fortin was still the mayor, as the next term doesn’t begin until next week. Yet she had no way of
knowing if she would be part of the next council. “It was a bit awkward thinking it might be the last time, but not as awkward as if I lost with no chance of sitting there again.” She said it’s an odd feeling to think about how quickly the past four years went by. “I was feeling a bit sentimental for the outgoing council.” Now that Fortin knows she’ll be serving as mayor for the next four years, she says her focus will be to mend divides, get the rest of the community connected to sewer, and to make Peachland more liveable for young families. “I’m so happy I’ll be Mayor when the new water treatment plant and seniors’ housing project opens.” She’s also excited to continue serving on the board for the RDCO as well as leading the Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change. “We need to do our very best to reduce our carbon footprint. We already have the Mayor’s Task Force but we need to do more – even as a little community, and we also need to do more as individuals.” Although Fortin assumed power without actually winning the most votes, she’s grateful to residents of Peachland who got her elected. “And to those who didn’t vote for me – I know it sounds cliché – but your voice is just as important as the next person’s. I’m going to work just as hard for all citizens.” Finally, Fortin has some advice for other municipalities – they should look into their tie-breaking bylaw procedures before it’s too late. “Every vote counts,” she said.

Police believe it was the same Honda generator that was stolen from the Upper Fraser area a few days earlier. The rightful owner contacted the West Kelowna RCMP explaining that he believed he tracked the stolen item here in the Central Okanagan, and he had arranged a meeting with the seller. Police attended the meeting at Main Street in West Kelowna and then arrested 32-year-old Neil Lingor from Kelowna. The same Neil Lingor who was arrested less than a week earlier in Kelowna. Just after 11 a.m. on Oct. 17, the RCMP responded to a residential alarm along Hollywood Road South in Kelowna. Officers learned
through a property representative that a break and enter had been committed. Video surveillance footage to was able to provide images of the suspect and a vehicle they believed to be associated. Those images were shared with local media and within hours, thanks to help from the general public, Lingor was arrested. He was held in jail overnight and faced charges of break and enter to commit an offence, possess break-in instruments, disguise face with intent to commit an offence, and breach of a Recognizance of Bail. After he sorts those out, he will have to face two other criminal charges related to the stolen generator. He is expected to re-appear in Court on Nov. 19 at 2 p.m.

Harry Gough said losing the election for Mayor of Peachland by random draw was unfortunate but he accepts the outcome. “That’s the rules so that’s what we did,” he said, though he would have preferred the rules to allow for a runoff election. On the evening of Oct. 20, Gough celebrated when the first round of results reported that he was the winner by one vote, defeating incumbent Cindy Fortin 804-803. But of course there was a recount which tallied up a tie, and then a judicial recount confirmed the tie. The random draw took place on Oct. 29 immediately following the recount and Fortin’s name was drawn by provincial court Judge
ICBC rate changes have come into effect VIEW STAFF
Car insurance rates have been raised for British Columbians who have been caught excessively speeding, driving impaired or distracted. The Ministry of Attorney General announced on Monday that penalty amounts through ICBC would rise by 20 per cent on Nov. 1. “Reckless drivers put others at risk, and they’re contributing to the rise in crashes we’re seeing on our roads,” said David Eby, Attorney General. “To help make our roads safer and hold people accountable, we’re bringing in higher penalties for drivers who engage in dangerous behaviour behind the wheel.” The rate increases effects two of ICBC’s penalty programs: • The Driver Risk Premium (DRP) is charged annually to drivers who are convicted of dangerous driving offences such as excessive speeding, two or more distracted driving violations, impaired driving convictions, roadside suspensions or prohibitions. Drivers could pay for the same offence
multiple times, as the DRP depends on a person’s driving record in the last three years. • And the Driver Penalty Point (DPP) premium is a penalty for collecting four or more points from traffic violations. The premium amount depends on the total number of points accumulated in a 12-month period. Drivers will be required to pay those penalties in addition to the fine for the original violation. Offenders will only be charged under one of the programs each year, whichever penalty is the highest. Drivers who don’t pay pay up
will be denied a new driver’s licence vehicle insurance next time they go to ICBC, and there will be 19.6 per cent interest charge after 60 days without payment. Drivers can reduce or eliminate those penalties by surrendering their driver’s licence for some or all of their billing period. Penalties will increase a further 20 per cent on Nov. 1, 2019. Penalties will match any changes to basic insurance premiums. Based on the increases, ICBC expects to collect $26 million in penalties in 2019, $32 million in 2020, and $36 million in 2021.
Woman stabs man Remembrance Day Office Closure VIEW STAFF
A 30-year-old lady who stabbed a 33-year-old gentleman in West Kelowna spent last Sunday night in jail. At 7:36 p.m. on Oct. 28, police heard there was an assault in progress at a home in the 3700 block of West Bay Road. When the cops showed up, they located the woman outside of the residence and arrested her without incident. “A 33-year-old man was found bleeding from lacerations inside the home,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. “He was transported to local hospital for medical treatment of what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries.” There’s no risk to the public as it was an isolated and “The victim and suspect were known to each other.” The woman appeared in Court earlier this week. Anybody who has something to add to the police investigation is being asked to contact the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880.

Had there been an agreement in place before the draw for the winner to relinquish power immediately thereby forcing a byelection, Gough would have signed up. “Wish I thought of this ahead of time,” he said. In that event however, a by-election would be open to the public, not just Fortin and Gough. He said “without any question” he’ll still be moving to Peachland with his wife, though he likely won’t be running for politics again. Only if Fortin happens to resign her seat early for any reason would he consider it again. But he does expect to spend much of the next four years with his family – and will especially cherish the time with his grand daughter. And he has a winter vacation to look forward to as well.

University hearing study seeks participants.
Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy PichoraFuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can inf luence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada. Why participate in the hearing study? Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the need to better understand how hearing loss affects your everyday life*.
In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully. It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2 . This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.
If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study.

As much as the BC NDP was elected on a promise to make BC more affordable there are many recent announcements that in fact will have the opposite effect. I will share a few recent examples as many citizens are unaware of how these changes might impacted by them. Here in the Okanagan we have many “accommodation providers” it may be those who seasonally rent out a basement suite, possibly a secondary residence or a condo up at ski hill. Cabins, bed & breakfasts even trailers and outbuildings in many cases have become part of a secondary income to help people pay the bills as these accommodations are temporarily rented out to
visiting guests. Currently those who rent out fewer than four units have been exempt from registering and in turn charging PST to their guests. Recently the NDP Government has decided that effective October 1st this exemption is being eliminated. As a result, all accommodation providers will be required to become a PST registrant and in turn charge PST (eight per cent Provincial Sales Tax on accommodation) and MRDT (up to three per cent Municipal and Regional District Tax Program) where applicable. For non-seasonal renters who rent accommodation year-round such as a rented house or condominium as examples you may also be receiving a rent increase. The BC NDP Government has
announced that landlords can increase the rent up to a maximum of 4.5 per cent in 2019. For more information locally, you can visit the Service BC Office located at 40 Calgary St. in Penticton. Finally, for residential property owners you may also see an upcoming increase in property taxes in the future due to the fact that BC NDP government has created a new employers health tax to replace MSP Premiums. In 2019 BC municipalities like Penticton will be paying a larger share of revenue to provide health benefits to employees then in previous years as the new Employers Health Tax is payable along with a portion of the former MSP premiums. The employer’s health tax is based on the size of the payroll.
Comment from the publisher of the Peachland View In the October 26 edition of the Peachland View editor, Dan Walton submitted a comment proposing that people “break the rules” to decide the outcome of the recent Peachland mayoralty election. Mr. Walton’s opinion in no way represents the view of Aberdeen Publishing LP, the owner of the Peachland View. We are living in a time where some seem to believe mob rule is the preferred method to achieve political goals, and we never condone any calls to simply break the rules. While deciding tied elections by drawing lots may to some seem arcane and arbitrary, the reality is that “The Local Government Act” governs municipal elections in BC. Under Section 92.8 of our Constitution, municipalities are entirely entities of the Provincial government. The act was passed by a duly elected provincial government and as such represents a democratic and constitutionally valid legal framework under which municipal elections are conducted, and governs how ties are broken.
The act states that unless local bylaws require that lots be drawn in the event of a tie, the election shall be rerun and include all candidates. Peachland bylaws clearly indicate that following a judicial re-count, if a tie still exists, the ties will be decided by drawing lots. This bylaw was passed by a duly elected council. This process exists because re-running the mayoralty election in small centres with limited resources would be a relatively expensive and time consuming affair. There may well be an appetite in Peachland to change the rules in this regard, and the way to do that is to petition local government to change the existing bylaws that govern local elections – it would seem given that another tie is an unlikely event this would be an empty gesture however it would be a far more democratic solution to the issue than simply “breaking the rules”. Mark Walker Vice President
Once a payroll exceeds $1.5 Million it is taxed at the maximum rate of 1.95 per cent. As the City of Penticton has a payroll in excess of $23 million almost two per cent on the total will create added cost pressures for Penticton and other municipalities who are funded through property taxes. Finally I would like to add that soon citizens will receive a mail in ballot from Elections BC for the upcoming referendum on electoral reform. Ballots should arrive near the end of October. I will save my personal thoughts on this referendum for another occasion however I would like to encourage citizens to visit the Elections BC website at www.elections.bc.ca to learn more and to ensure your registration information is correct.
PR government will empower the people, not the parties Dear editor: The lying has to stop. The reason we are having yet another referendum on changing our electoral system is very simple: The vast majority of the people are not satisfied with the kind of governments our current first-past-the-post (FPTP) electoral system is producing. The sad part about this referendum is that voters have become so disillusioned about our politicians and governments that they have failed to become informed about either system.
The NO-side is acutely aware of this handicap, and has engaged in fear-mongering on a scale we have never seen before. The NO-side insists a Proportional government will take the political power away from the people and award it to the parties. Nothing could be further from the truth, as Proportional Representation will do the exact opposite, and take the control of the politicians away from the parties, and give it back to the people.

Boxing ring politics
Dear editor:
I am tired of boxing ring politics, where our politicians verbally hit each until one is knocked out and there is a winner. This British system of democracy – left over from the days when there were only two parties – is especially broken now because in B.C. we have three or four parties and it has become impossible under FPTP to fairly establish a winner. You may hear “if it is not broken, don’t fix it,” well it is broken and now we have a chance to get rid of FPTP and make election results more fair! For a change, I want my vote to count and I want all of the politicians to have to work to get my vote rather than a party pushing their favourite into a sure-thing district. And I want more cooperation in Politics. Pro Rep solves many of these problems, and so many countries use it, that politi-
cians of all kinds often say they like it – but they often avoid putting Pro Rep into practice when they have a chance. Justin Trudeau made a big fuss about how he wanted electoral reform, but lurking in the back of his mind must have been the problem that Pro Rep might just affect his chances of getting 100 per cent of the power with only 40 per cent of the votes. So much for politicians working for the electorate. Each of the proposed systems guarantees a local representative, as well as perhaps an additional representative from the party for whom you voted. I have lived in New Zealand and can tell you that they liked their MMP system and would not go back to the old British way of conducting elections. From what I read, any of the 3 would be fine.

Further reflections on the Historical School House TRAVIS OLENKIAK PHOTO
ROCKY ROCKSBOROUGHSMITH
PEACHLAND CHAMBER Appreciation is extended to Richard Smith for his letter defining the public forum process which brought about the refurbishing of the once boarded up historic schoolhouse. Many citizens contributed through the Historic Door Program whereby pioneer families honoured their family members who attended or worked at the school by purchasing a plaque to be displayed at the entrance doors throughout the building. Many businesses contributed in-kind materials, labour and offered substantial discounts. Others offered behind the scenes time to research materials and products, assisting project manager Rob Campbell. The Tourism Manager, under the direction of Peachland Chamber of Commerce, secured
grants that paid for lease hold items including display shelves and furniture, in addition to a wage subsidy grant that paid 50 per cent of the wages for the assistant project manager. From the onset of assessing the 1908 post and beams, to hammering the final nail, Peachland Historic School was a community project that clearly followed the due process set out by the District. The project involved the community, as a whole, as is clearly displayed on the Appreciation Plaque mounted in the entrance of Peachland Historic School. The building con-
tinues to function in support of our diverse community as it is home to the ever expanding children’s programs through the Boys & Girls Club and BEEPS; a home for artists and crafters through the beautiful gallery and Visitor Centre gift shop; a home to our businesses, services and service groups through tourism promotion and facility rental and most importantly, a home to any and every citizen of Peachland as a multipurpose building available for a multitude of venues and programs, welcoming citizens and visitors alike.

Recently I have been overwhelmed by citizens asking what can be summarized by the following question: “Is it true that Statistics Canada is demanding access to certain Canadians personal financial and banking information, including all transactions along with bank account balances without citizens’ consent or even notification that this is going on?”. When news of this potential sharing of your personal financial information with Ottawa bureaucrats first broke (full credit to Global News) the Official Opposition immediately began hearing very serious concerns, even outrage, from many Canadians. This was similar to what occurred when it was announced the Liberal Government was going to claw back employee discounts and treat them as taxable benefits. In that case when the Official Opposition raised these concerns, the Liberals announced it was a policy directive that was not signed off by the Minister and would not go forward. Our hopeful expectation was this might be a similar situation. Unfortunately in question period this week Prime Minister Trudeau has confirmed that he fully supports your personal banking information being shared with Ottawa bureaucrats without either your consent, or your knowledge. The Prime Minister has stated that he believes your data will remain secure. The fact that you have not consented to your financial data being shared and that you will not be notified that your banking information has been taken is perfectly acceptable and is something he supports. On Thursday my opposition colleague MP Candice Bergen presented over 800 pages of government documents showing hundreds of incidents of privacy breaches affecting thousands of citizens over the past 19 months. Fortunately on October 31st, the Privacy Commissioner announced he will launch an formal investigation into these proposed actions from Statistics Canada. In my view, this is not 1984. No government should be using Orwellian techniques to harvest your personal private banking information. Your personal financial information belongs to you and you have a right to know when it is being accessed and for what purpose. The Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer and our Official Opposition caucus do not support this Liberal supported assault on your personal financial privacy. My question this week is a simple one: Do you?

DISTRICT OF PEACHLAND The Peachland Seniors’ Support Society Tenant Selection Committee is hard at work evaluating over 150 applications for housing for the Residences on 6th. The Committee expected to complete their work by the end of October, barring any unforeseen circumstances. All applicants will be advised by telephone whether they have been selected for a housing unit or not. Those applicants who are selected will be required to participate in an interview, before a final decision is made. Interviews were conducted during the second half of October, and likely also into November. If applicants are not initially selected, they may be placed on a waiting list, providing they are eligible. Although the move in dates have not yet been completely finalized, we are expecting to see tenants move in from the beginning of February, and into the early part of March. As soon as the possession date is confirmed from the construction contractor, firm dates can be assigned to tenants. The foregoing will be updated as new information becomes available.

This home away from home will be a welcome place for those families of patients from outlying areas, rather like Ronald Macdonald House in Vancouver. Pictured are two members of the Peachland Auxiliary to Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, one of the
several auxiliaries under the umbrella of the Foundation. The Peachland group this spring donated $15,000 to this project, which was raised through catering to various social events in Peachland. A big thank you to all our patrons for helping us to help you.

Guthrie
DARLENE HARTFORD PHOTOS
May 1, 1943 - Oct 26, 2018 It is with profound sadness and sorrow that I (Marilyn Guthrie) announce Bill’s sudden passing, after a short one-week battle with aggressive lung/liver cancer. Bill was born on May 1, 1943 in Calgary, AB to John and Evelyn Guthrie. His father worked in the oil patch, so they moved frequently around Alberta, but he received most of his schooling in Edmonton, AB. He married young and he and Erma have one son. After giving up the cowboy way of life, he sold cars in Edmonton and got his Private Pilot’s license. They moved to Kelowna where he obtained his Commercial Pilot’s license and flew for Caribou Air as a bush pilot. Bill and I were married February 14, 1969. He lived a very colorful life, not only as a pilot but also a Country Taxi owner/driver in Westbank, BC, selling newspaper advertising for both the Kelowna Daily Courier and the News Advertiser, and working for Frontier Manufacturing of Industrial Trailers. His most rewarding career was with Interior Health for over 20 years working in Material Management as Supervisor and lastly in Pharmacy Inventory, from which he retired in 2005. His love of horses was evident from very young and, when he was older, he rode for the Edmonton Sheriff’s Posse (all Palominos) as well on two long distance Centennial rides with Calgary, AB’s Sam Steel Scouts Commemorative (RCMP) Troup – in 1985 (NorthWest Rebellion of 1885), riding from Fort Saskatchewan, AB to Loon Lake, SK and then again in 1987, riding from Fort MacLeod, AB to Fort Benton, MT, USA with 80 other troopers.
HEADSTART ON HALLOWEEN – Halloween came early to Peachland with spooky activities taking place on Saturday at the Community Centre. Pictured above is Rylee Gough dressed as Harry Potter, and below is Junior RCMP officer Brant.
He was a great “sharp-shooter” who joined the Kelowna Black Powder Club (BEAR Club) and, as a “mountain man,” he qualified to shoot in two BC Summer Games. Bill was a member of both the Kelowna and Peachland Yacht Clubs, past member of the Peachland Riding Club and current member of the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association. He was also a proud past member of Peachland Community Policing – serving as President, Past President, Vice President and Speed Watch Co-ordinator with over 20 years of service. In 2007 and 2008 he received an RCMP award “In Recognition and Appreciation of Outstanding Contribution and Dedication to the Citizen’s Patrol and Speed Watch Programs.” In 2008, he was awarded the “Spirit of Peachland Civic Award – Freedom of the Municipality” and in 2013 we received the “Councillor’s Award of Merit” from the Peachland Municipality. In 2012, Bill was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and, with its progression, was unable to continue volunteering or with most of his hobbies. He will be sadly missed by me, his wife Marilyn and his son Bill Jr. as well as his sister Del Dennis, brothers John and David (Shirley), brothers-in-law Borden Tarapaski, Harvey (Penny) Ross and Gordon (Melanie) Klontz, numerous nieces and nephews and of course many friends and co-workers.

Boys & Girls Clubs – a good place to be PATRICIA BARROWS
OK BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS - PEACHLAND Everyone has a fundamental need to belong. At the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs, our vision, mission, and core values guide our work each day and highlight our role in ensuring that all participants feel supported, respected, and that they have a voice. Part of how we do this is through safe supportive environments, positive relationships, and inclusion. Inclusion is based on the interaction of all people, celebrating strengths and diversity. Inclusion impacts well-being, fosters connections, and shows children and youth that they matter and are valued. Inclusion increases positive outcomes such as physical and emotional safety, confidence and resiliency. Club programs are designed to embrace the principles of equality and inclusion with a focus on the strengths and capabilities of all individuals, demonstrating our belief in the potential of all kids. Through flexible, strengths based, individual centered and collaborative service delivery, we assist participants in defining and working towards their goals. The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs strive to ensure that our programs are adaptable. We regularly review and address accessibility barriers whether it is transportation needs, physical space, or communication to make our programs and services
available and accessible for all participants. Club staff ensure that children, youth and families have meaningful input into program planning and goal setting to support their growth and encourage success. Through program operating standards, accreditation, peer reviews and other feedback, we are able to constantly assess and adapt our programs to best meet our participant’s needs. Caring, qualified, supportive staff are role models promoting inclusion, interaction, and building positive relationships. We advocate for our participants and recognize the importance of collaborative partnerships working with families, schools, and other involved agencies and individuals. Club staff are able to access training, workshops, and take part in committees to stay current & up to date on issues, strategies, and best practices to ensure successful, positive experiences and meet the needs of all children, youth and their families. Through our inclusive approaches, each day at Club locations throughout the Okanagan we recognize and celebrate diversity and its role in our mission to provide a safe, supportive place where children and youth experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life. Promoting inclusion and diversity is one of the many reasons that the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs are a ‘Good Place to Be’.
