This is the third time a proposal for the municipallyowned property on Wharton Street has come before municipal council. The Meiklejohn proposal and Mike Rink’s proposal both did not proceed.
While Rink had expressed interest in the project, an agreement was not signed. That plan expired in January, 2011. The property was re-evaluated on March 28, 2011. Once a development begins on the property, McIntosh

expects other projects to follow. “I think it’s going to be a catalyst for a lot of development in Summerland,” he said. Mayor Janice Perrino said she is wait-
ing for the project to proceed. “I’m anxious to see this go forward, but I’m just as pleased there’s not a hole in the ground,” she said. If the project should come to an
end now, she said the municipality would seek another developer. “It will happen,” she said. “It’s just not happening as quickly as any of us would like.”
HUNTERS HILL As interest continues to grow in the Hunters Hill Neighbourhood Plan process underway in Summerland, the opportunities for public input are still available, and we continue to encourage your questions and comments.
Some Hunters Hill Conversations 1) “You mean the 156 acres is not in the ALR?”
Providence
That’s right, and because the 156 acres is not in the ALR, applications to REMOVE land from the Agricultural Land Reserve are not required, and that’s a good thing!
250-493-1774
2) “Is there any arable land on Hunters Hill?”
“Every Life Tells A Story”
Due to the
Labour Day Holiday The will be closed:
Yes, some portions of Hunters Hill may offer viable growing conditions, so the neighbourhood plan may offer more than just another neighbourhood of residential housing.
3) “So, Hunters Hill is just across from Sumac Ridge?”
“Yes, and because Hunters Hill is across from Sumac Ridge Estates (Winery, Golf & Housing), there are some pretty amazing views out over vineyards and Okanagan Lake!”
4) “What about walking trails and hiking trails for the Hunters Hill area?”
Our professional planners are considering the possibility of trails for parts of the Hunters Hill Area Plan.

As some high school students are preparing for the annual back-toschool bush party, Sgt. Stephane Lacroix of the Summerland RCMP detachment said police will have roadblocks in place before and after the event. “We certainly don’t support it and we recommend parents don’t send their kids to it,” Lacroix said of the annual party. The bush party occurs outside of the detachment’s coverage area, but the police will have roadblocks in place before the event begins and after it is over. The bush parties, which are held at the
start and end of the school year, are not school-sanctioned events. Lacroix said the parties have the potential to turn tragic. “If you mix alcohol and drugs, bad things happen,” he said. In June, 2011, following a similar bush party in Penticton to mark the end of the school year, a 16-year-old student was stabbed and killed. A 19-year-old man was held in custody following the incident.

Many sources, including the BC Law society, can provide helpful information in choosing a lawyer. Why would a law firm suggest such a thing you ask? The continuing confidence and trust that so many citizens of Summerland and the surrounding area have shown in choosing our firm for their legal needs tell us that we are providing the kind of professional, confidential and considerate legal services that you want.
