Recycle BC and curbside recycling services

The Regional Board has received a detailed report looking at future options for the curbside recycling program in the Central Okanagan.  The current contract with Recycle BC runs to the end of 2024 and a decision whether to continue the partnership for another seven years must be made before July this year.  The Regional District will consult with local governments whether to continue the existing partnership or have Recycle BC directly provide curbside recycling collection and report to the Board by the end of May.


Treehouse Forest Preschool agreement

The Regional Board has approved renewing a Memorandum of Understanding and an agreement for three years with the non-profit Clubhouse Child Care Centre.  It has been operating the licensed Treehouse Forest Preschool in Woodhaven Nature Conservancy Regional Park since 2018.  The preschool provides youngsters with first-hand learning through outdoor play and exploration.


Notice of Motion supported

The Regional Board has supported a Notice of Motion from Director Charlie Hodge regarding a houseboat that’s abandoned on the Okanagan Lake shoreline of Bear Creek Provincial Park. The Chair will send a letter to the BC ministers of Land, Water and Resource Stewardship and Environment and Climate Change Strategy asking their assistance with the immediate removal of the grounded vessel.
