New child care centre will be a game-changer for Peachland families
By Jeff McDonald Staff RepoRteR
Families considering Peachland as a place to live can add a new child care facility into their calculations on the best place in the Okanagan to raise kids.
The sod will be turned within weeks for the new 10,000 square-foot centre, expected to be complete at the end of 2026 and operational in early 2027. The total of 104 spaces will include 50 daycare spaces for the 0-to-5 age category and 54 spaces for school-age children.
Cory Labrecque, the District of Peachland’s director of community services, said having this kind of facility makes Peachland an inclusive community for younger people, older people and everyone in between. “It’s a boost for everybody in the community. If we have a community that is supportive of families and children, it helps to regenerate our demographics,” he said. “The only feedback I’ve received, and it has been quite a bit, has been positive. I think it’s a very, very good thing for the town. I
think it probably will be a game changer.”
The land on which the centre will be built is next to Peachland Elementary School, on the corner of Clements Crescent and Wild Goose Street. The District of Peachland purchased it last year for $500,000 with funds from the Growing Communities Fund. The purchase was made conditional on receiving funding from the province’s ChildCareBC New Spaces Fund. That funding, $12.2 million, came through in 2024.
The location is in one of Peachland’s most family-oriented areas, said Labrecque, and being next to the school means that kids who need after-school care will no longer need to be bussed to the current facility run by the Boys and Girls Club of the Okanagan (BGCO), he said.
“We started to enter into negotiations to purchase that property, knowing that it would greatly increase the capacity of the Boys and Girls Club to be able to look after after-school kids because it’s walking

FortisBC keeps gas rates the same
FortisBC has received approval from the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) to maintain the cost of gas rate for its customers at $2.230 per gigajoule.
“We know that energy costs matter to the families and businesses we serve in British Columbia,” said Sarah Nelson, director of customer service.
Some customers subscribed to the voluntary Renewable Natural Gas2 (RNG) program will see a rate increase, which will be offset by a change to the biomethane credit. The BCUC reviews Fortis-
natural gas, renewable natural gas and propane to about 1,086,500 customers across British Columbia.
To help keep rates affordable for its customers, FortisBC purchases gas in the summer when prices are lower and stores it so that lower-cost gas is available to customers in winter months when they need it most. In addition, FortisBC sells any surplus gas back to the market to further offset costs and passes those savings on to its customers.
Commision launches new strategic plan
regional growth, it said in a recent media release.
Called COEDC Strategy 2025 to 2030, the plan is designed to position the central Okanagan for resiliency in the face of economic uncertainty.
Four strategic directions guided the new plan’s development: drive economic resilience, build a skilled workforce, promote innovation and grow export-focused industries, according to the release.
The plan will provide a roadmap for economic resilience based on regional assets and existing economic development programs. It was developed with comprehensive economic analysis and community engagement, the release said.

Hydro customers to pay more
B.C. Hydro’s rates are going up effective April 1.
B.C. Energy Minister Adrian Dix has issued a directive to the B.C. Utilities Commission to increase hydro rates by 3.75 per cent a year for the next two years.
The 3.75 per cent rate increase will add $3.75 per month to the average household bill, according to a provincial government release this week. Even with the increase, BC Hydro rate changes are staying below cumulative inflation, keeping electricity costs near the lowest in North America and about half what Albertans pay.
“We must take urgent action to protect British Columbians from the uncertainty posed by rising costs while building a strong, robust and resilient electricity system for the benefit of B.C.’s long-term energy independence,” said Dix in the release.
The rate adjustments for the upcoming two years reflect rising operating costs due to inflation, the needed Site C hydroelectric project coming into service, and the need to invest in B.C.’s energy supply and infrastructure to bolster B.C.’s economy and energy security, the release said.

Peachland receives funding for new firefighting clothing and gear
By Jeff McDonalD Staff RepoRteR
Peachland firefighters are getting an operational boost in the form of new gear, just in time for the 2025 wildfire season.
The provincial government announced last week that more than 230 volunteer and composite fire departments will receive funding through new training and equipment to strengthen emergency response and better keep people in British Columbia safe.
The District of Peachland will get $39,040 for wildland fire protective clothing and firefighting equipment from the fund, and Peachland fire chief Ian Cummings said the clothing is badly needed for his firefighters’ operational capacity and safety.
“It’s a great opportunity to get some stuff we really need. Right now they wear fire-resistant coveralls, which are heavy and bulky. They offer protection from heat and chemicals but they don’t offer a lot of ease of movement,” he said. “The new wildland clothing is a two-piece pants and jacket, which offer much more movability and are more breathable. It’s a lighter material, fire-resistant but thinner and more flexible.”
The clothing also provides a level of safety because it’s easier to see with better reflective striping, Cummings said. “It’s more visible, it will help operations and it will be a real benefit to the members for their wellbeing,” he said.
The department reviewed operational needs last fall when the funding opportunity was announced, and new wildland clothing topped the list.
His firefighters will be sized and the clothing will be ordered
in time for wildfire season, Cummings said.
“During an emergency, people rely on volunteer firefighters and community fire crews to keep their loved ones and homes safe,” said Kelly Greene, B.C.’s minister of emergency management and climate readiness, in last week’s release. “By providing funding for equipment and training, we’re strengthening local firefighting capabilities so that people in rural and remote communities who depend on volunteer or partial volun-
teer fire departments are safer and better protected.”
Peachland’s fire department is a composite of paid staff and volunteer firefighters.
Cummings said funds left over after the new gear purchase will go toward extra hose for municipal firefighting. “Right now we have enough hose on the trucks to operate but when we go on calls and afterward we wash the hose, at times we are loading it back onto the trucks wet, which really decreases its serviceable life,” he said. ••
YLW expecting busy spring break
Kelowna International Airport (YLW) is expecting a busy spring break, with over 120,000 travellers expected to pass through the airport from March 13 to 30.
In a media release, YLW advised arriving and departing passengers to plan in advance and prepare for longer than normal wait times.
Daily anticipated passenger volumes, daily peak travel times and real-time parking lot capacity are posted on ylw.kelowna.ca/ traveltips, YLW said.
The airport is encouraging passengers to do as much as possible online before getting to the airport, including check-in, paying fees, validating passport information where required and retrieving boarding passes. Passengers should also check their flight status online with their airline before going to the airport.
Parking is expected to reach full capacity during spring break, the release said, and passengers should consider alternate transportation such as taxi, ride share, airport shuttles, public transit or being dropped off at the airport. poSt Staff

Let the art group stay
To the editor:
The Peachland Art Group has been meeting in the Recreation Centre for over 40 years and is now being asked to leave by the District of Peachland. The room they use has been ideal for the 70-member group. For the community they put on an Annual Art Show, May 24/25 this year, as well as a community-wide HeARTS Festival for all ages.
Members have volunteered to create street banners, design the Peachland flag, and even the huge highway signs in 1984.
I estimate 70 members pay nearly $100,000 a year in Peachland property taxes too.
All we ask is just let us carry on as we have always done, contributing to the community and the well-being of our members.
The space is not free to us, as we pay an annual lease September to June.
When the new senior apartment is finished there will be many more looking for leisure activities nearby and it won’t be tennis and baseball.
Support community arts.
Richard Smith Peachland
We have had the highly valued employees who have left their positions. These workers were integral to our local operations and their departures have raised serious concerns among residents.
The loss of experienced personnel leaves gaps in our community services, potentially affecting everything from local infrastructure projects to essential public services. Residents rely on these workers, and their departure not only creates uncertainty but also sends a worrying message about the current state of employment within our municipality.
It is crucial that we as a community understand what is happening. What factors are driving these seasoned workers away? I urge our new leadership to reflect on these departures and address the underlying issues. We need to ensure that we are creating an environment that values and retains the people who work hard to serve us.

An article on Feb 21, 2025 titled Peachland’s Life Blood was about community volunteers and their contributions. I commend Keith Fielding and the Post for bringing attention to these unsung heroes. I would also like to showcase the Peachland Lions Club. Many have seen us at events like: our Summerland Golf Tournament in April, the Classic Car Show,

the Mayor’s Town BBQ, Canada Day celebration and Lions Parade, selling ornaments in the fall and the Christmas Light Up to name a few. The proceeds then go to numerous needs.
The Peachland Lions Club provided over $27,000 to the P.L. Foodbank, Camp Winfield for special needs, diabetes programs and student bursaries, to name a few.
We contributed 1,232 volunteer work hours in 2024 equating over $33,000 in monetary value. We continue to seek ways to improve and better meet the needs of our community.

CANADA-U.S.
Global problems need global solutions, not imperialism
Imagine if the tables were turned, and Canada was in a position to absorb an unwilling U.S.
How would we be selling that imperialist idea to our southern neighbours, soon to be Canadian citizens?
How about universal health care? The approximately 40 million Americans who don’t have health care insurance would be able to get a surgical procedure without having to pay literally thousands of dollars and declare personal bankruptcy afterward.
For another, far fewer Americans would die by gunfire. In 2023, almost 18,000 of them were murdered by guns. If Canadian gun death percentages were extrapolated to the U.S., my backof-the-envelope math suggests we
could get that down to about 3,500.
Less good is that, because they’d part of English Canada, they’d also get to experience our collective angst and annoyance whenever the Parti Quebecois returns to power in Quebec and starts talking about separating.
We’d have to warn them about the anger we feel when they find out English Canadians’ tax dollars pay the salaries of Bloc Quebecois MPs, whose stated goal is to take apart the country whose parliament they sit in.
And we’d have to explain to them why, 158 years after Canada became a nation, another country’s monarch appears on our money.
But just think of what the new Canada could do with all that military might. We could be a defender of the rules-based
global order, instead of letting criminals like Vladimir Putin run murderous roughshod over smaller countries. That would make those former Americans feel right at home, because it’s what the U.S. did, and benefitted hugely from, for decades.
Anyway, all joking aside, here’s the thing: Canada doesn’t talk about absorbing other
countries, or threaten them, or mock their leaders. Okay, that last one, maybe. Sometimes. Why? Because that’s not what countries in the 21st century do to each other. Because it’s morally wrong. Because 19th-century imperialism is so...19th-century. Because we aren’t interested in inflicting an ongoing psychodrama (to quote our foreign affairs minister Melanie Jolie) on people we consider friends. Because we believe other nations should prosper and chart their own courses, just as we wish to. Because we understand that serious global problems need global solutions that we’ll only arrive at by nations working together.

Motion is lotion: fascia helps bones, muscles work together
When I began studying anatomy and physiology, 40 years ago in college, we didn’t hear the word ‘fascia’. Within the last few years, it’s become a buzz word in rehabilitation, yoga, fitness, sports & medicine.
Facts about this fascinating tissue are headlining modern research as we come to understand that it plays a big part in our well-being, and more than just holding us together. Our embryonic beginnings are when our entire fascia system is established and intact. Just like snowflakes, no two of us are alike.
Fascia is a 3D matrix that is woven throughout our anatomy like spider webs. It attaches, encloses, wraps and separates tissue and organs, permeating the entire body. Fascia has six to 10 more proprioceptors than muscle, leading to more pain sensation, yet it barely shows up on MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging), which is a modality used to investigate pain. In an article written by
Nelin Krull of Myofascial Canada, he said: “Fascia doesn’t show up in MRI’s and X-rays…as a result,

This can lead to reduced mobility, or what I like to call ‘sticky’ parts in my yoga classes. In the past few years, mobilizing a patient after surgery is done as soon as possible to aid in the prevention of this matted effect. Improved mobility to increase blood flow aids recovery.

If the air that you blow the bubble in is cold, it gets tough,and you need to do the same sequence in your mouth in order to blow the bubble again. It’s similar to putting your gum on the side of your plate while you eat a meal, when you were a child. It’s a tough chunk when you do start to chew it. My favourite saying by Dr Greg Ford, a physiotherapist at Daemon College in N.Y. said “motion is lotion”. If this has made you curious about your fascia, Peachland has massage therapists, physiotherapist, chiropractors, fitness & yoga professionals that can help you understand fascia, movement and pain restrictions that can support you in using motion as lotion and living in a healthier and happier body.

distance to the school,” he said. “This will become their permanent and larger home. And that way the supervisors can walk them right from their classroom across the street to their after-school center.”
The location is convenient to services at the Peachland Village Mall, the transit loop and the library. It’s also close to a family-oriented Peachland neighborhood, said Labrecque.
A new child care facility is contained in the Peachland council’s strategic plan and is a direct result of that plan, said Labrecque. It was driven by a child care needs assessment completed by the Regional District of Central Okanagan some years ago. That assessment contained qualitative and quantitative data suggesting Peachland was severely in need of a child care center, he said.
A team of architects and engineers supported by district and BGCO staff are now at the detailed design and construction drawing phase, he said. “Construction of off-site works will actually start shortly in the early spring. And the on-site construction document and supply procurement phase will happen in May. And we look forward to starting construction on the building this summer,” he said.
The BCGO will staff and operate the facility under an agreement with the district, said Labrecque.
Labrecque said the $12.2 million from the ChildCareBC New Spaces Fund will cover 100 per cent of the cost to design, construct and equip the facility with everything a state-ofthe-art child care facility needs, including play equipment.
The District of Peachland will own the land and building, while the BGCO will staff and operate the centre. The current agreement between the district and BGCO includes the current after-school program, but Labrecque said an operating agreement for the new facility will be negotiated after construction begins. According to the terms of the provincial grant, that agreement needs to span thirty years.
As for affordability, Lebrecque said if anyone can provide affordable child care, including the provincial government’s $10 a Day ChildCare BC program, it’s a not-for-profit provider like the BCGO. “I’m sure they’ll take advantage of any provincial or federal programs that are available when the center opens,” he said.
It’s not just parents who will benefit from the centre once it’s open, Lebrecque said.
“I know it’s something that a lot of grandparents are looking forward to as well, because without affordable childcare and after school care, grandparents do take the brunt of helping to look after the grandkids,” he said. “I’m over the moon with this project because, you know, it helps. It does help families in ways that will change lives. Whether they’re single income or dual income I think most families in Peachland will be able to benefit from this.” ••

You’ll be delighted to learn that our friends from the Kelowna Community Music School will be visiting us once again on Saturday, April 5, at 5 P.M., while on their way to a concert in Penticton, thus providing us with our annual Intimate Spring Ensemble Concert. Music instructors at the school, Ashley Kroecher (viola), Martin Kratky (cello), and Sandra Wilmot (violin), who are also players for the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, will play alongside their students Lenna Barbaza (violin), William Li (violin), Henry Barbaza
(cello), Ben Barbaza (cello) and Nicholas Covaser (violin, viola, double bass). The Barbaza family players are becoming regular visitors to our annual concerts! The ensemble will play works from Boccherini, Kreisler, Cassado and Handel. The concert will be followed by an optional dinner at 6:30 P.M. at the Blind Angler Restaurant. A three-choice menu is available online at peachlandarts.ca. The concert only is $20 for members and $25 for non-members; the dinner and concert is $70 including salad, tip and tax. We hope to see a good crowd at this popular event! The concert will be held in the new venue of Our SPACE, which has great acoustics and a grand piano. Book your seats early!
There are still some spaces left for Jim Elwood’s Acrylic Drawing with Paint Workshop to be held April 5 from 10 A.M. to 2 P.M., during which he will instruct how
to draw on canvas with paint. Currently showing at the Summerland Art Gallery is a photographic exhibition, Wonder in the Mundane, featuring the fine art photography of Peachland Community Arts Council member Nicole Hunziker-Basler. You will have seen her work many times in our Captured Images exhibitions, twice at the Lake Country Artwalk, and more recently, Hunziker-Basler was awarded three silver and two bronze medals for her landscape photography in the prestigious International Imaging Competition by Master Photographers International. Her artwork can be purchased through her website nicolehbphotography.ca.

Vintage emporium features eclectic pieces from everywhere
Beach Avenue Vintage Emporium, at 5878A Beach Avenue, definitely has one of the more intriguing and extensive collections of eclectic stuff in Peachland! It includes Shawn Turner’s own custom-made (about 30) lamps made from these vintage items. Lamps create mood and atmosphere, already in abundance!
Fascinating to browse this shop, tastefully arranged (Shawn is also the curator) to create an atmosphere of nostalgia and fascination. Shawn has been collecting for decades; twice previously, when he ran out of space at home, he sold his collection privately, and started a new private collection. But something had changed. After working six years in a Vancouver vintage store, and after meeting his life partner,
who shares his love of collecting, Shawn and Lesley Ann moved to Peachland and started a new

collection. It grew quickly, thanks to a job that saw Shawn travel the province over 100,000 km, and they looked across the Okanagan for a storefront space where they could have a constantly turning-over inventory of intriguing vintage items. They came across
the space they now occupy, after seeing the previous tenant place her for-rent sign as they drove by. Shawn now handles the acquisitions and the presentation, and Lesley Ann the important stuff.
Shawn’s business goal is to have his customers enter with a smile, and leave with one as well. From what I saw, his prices are as low as the items he sells are old! He loves to share his treasures, and there are many to enjoy! If you buy something, that’s a bonus, but a welcome one!

Janice Liebe, president of the Trail of the Okanagans Society, confirmed that e-bikes would be welcome on the trail, along with (only) mobility scooters, electric
wheelchairs, hikers and bicyclists. The society is focused on linking trails from Bennett Bridge in Kelowna to the US border, part of a single 370 km trail from Sicamous to Brewster, WA. This route traces traditional trading routes of Okanagan First Nations.
Janice and I also noted that a connection with New Monaco has the expensive challenge of crossing the highway; cost could be prohibitive to get a direct connection.

A school, church and community asset
Did you know that the Little Schoolhouse on Brandon Lane was built in 1898? It was a one-room schoolhouse that was too small for the growing school population just ten years later, when a new school was built on Beach Avenue (the yellow schoolhouse).
The congregation of St. Margaret’s Anglican Church used the building as their place of worship from 1908 to 1991.
The Little Schoolhouse was built in 1898 and saved from demolition a century later.
In 1997 the property and building were transferred to the municipality and in 2000 the District council voted to demolish it. This led to the creation of a group of volunteers, the Friends of the Little
Schoolhouse, who stepped up to restore the building at no cost to local taxpayers for use by the community.
The group raised funds and donated thousands of hours of work to restore it.
There can be no doubt that the seasons are changing when crocuses begin to appear in Peachland.
