The Turtle Bay Crossing development, at the north end of Lake Country, has been sold and a new Kelowna-based developer is expected to begin construction on the commercial development in the spring. Axsiom Developments Inc. purchased the property at the corner of

Oceola and Highway 97, taking over the 41,000 square foot proposed development from another Kelowna developer. “We think it’s a great location being right by the Lake’s community and right on the lake,” said Toni Illingworth, construction administrator for Axsiom DevelopSEE TURTLE BAY A2

Drivers must #StopOnRed School bus drivers around the Central Okanagan routinely report drivers passing their school bus while the bus is stopped with red lights flashing, attempting to safely drop or pick-up school children. In fact, school bus drivers report at least one incident per day on average during the school

season when a vehicle will put kids in danger by passing while the bus ‘stop’ lights are flashing. And those are just the incidents where the driver can actually write down the license plate and the make and model of the vehicle and report it to the police. “If we have 185 incidents in a year that’s 185 incidents too many,” said Dave Misener, Cen-

tral Okanagan School District tranpsortation manager. “We have many more (incidents) but these are just the ones that the driver is able to make out the license plate number and the make and model. A school bus driver’s first priority is the safety of the students so they can’t always report vehicles.” Students from Pearson Road Elementary

gathered at their school on Monday morning to display artwork they created to put the spotlight on school bus safety in and around the Central Okanagan’s 43 schools. There are 65 bus routes in the district, spanning from Lake Country to Peachland and even to Big White as buses head out each
