R.I.P. Keith Thom:
The people you helped and those whose hearts you touched will never forget
By Keith Fielding
The sad news of Councillor Keith Thom’s passing has left the town shocked and saddened.
Tributes have been pouring in on social media expressing dismay at the sudden and unexpected loss of a man valued and respected as a friend, advocate, fundraiser, musician, councillor and colleague.
Keith Thom was devoted to
his family and our condolences go to them all--his wife, Mary Lynn, his children Fiona, Andrew, and Rachael his grandsons Maxwell and Carson, and stepchildren Charles, Alexander, and Mathew.
An announcement from Mayor van Minsel and councillors was posted on the District website and on Facebook.

Many Peachland residents attended the Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph on November 11th.
Following two minutes of silence and closing remarks by
service coordinator, Legion Branch 69 President, Jean Saul, many of those in attendance laid wreaths.
As has become traditional, one such wreath was laid by resident John Humphries on behalf of King Charles.

DISPUTE
Caveat Emptor underpins BC Supreme Court ruling in Hainle wine sale dispute
By Keith Fielding
In a BC Supreme Court ruling last week, Justice Gary Wetherill determined that the current owners of Hainle Winery, Bella Huang and Tony Zhuang of Bella Valley Enterprises are the authors of their own misfortune and must pay $2 million to former owner, Walter Huber. The ruling arises from an allegation by Bella Valley Enterprises that the quality of wine stock they agreed to purchase from Huber for $2 million as part of the winery purchase had been greatly exaggerated, and that it was unsalable and undrinkable in China, its intended market.

Other allegations included that Huber had falsely claimed the existence of awards and accolades for his product, misrepresented the wine’s standing in the industry, and falsely claimed that it had been served at the 80th Academy Awards in Los Angeles, and at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s royal wedding.
Additional allegations included that Huber had falsely claimed that the winery was the first in North America to commercially bottle ice wine, and the first to be certified organic in Canada. It was also alleged that Huber misrepresented his standing in the international wine community and had falsely claimed that his family used to be winemakers for German kings.
In his ruling Justice Wetherill noted that despite a “disturbing propensity” on Huber’s part to fabricate stories and self promote, that he did not believe that those factors were influential in Bella Valley’s decision to purchase the winery. He also noted that the agreement to purchase the wine stock had been drawn up without the aid of a lawyer, and that three years passed before the new owners sought to examine and test the wine they had purchased. The ruling means that the current owners must now make good their indebtedness to Huber. Whether they can withstand that $2 million hit and build the winery to a status where accolades are fully deserved, remains to be seen. Let us hope that they can.
BC keeps auto insurance rates low
Drivers in British Columbia will continue to benefit from affordable and stable auto insurance costs with no increase to basic rates through to spring 2027.
“Keeping basic insurance rates low and stable is part of our government’s commitment to affordability and helping people manage their day-to-day budgets,” said Niki Sharma, Attorney General and minister responsible for ICBC.
“We are making sure drivers have access to affordable coverage and some of the strongest care and recovery benefits in the country without compromising financial sustainability.“
After careful analysis of its finances, ICBC concluded that basic auto insurance rates do not require a change through to 2026-27 fiscal year eliminating the need for an application to change rates with the BC Utilities Commission in 2025 and postponing any potential need for an application until late 2026.
“With Insurance rates stable we can put our efforts toward enhancing customer experience and expanding online services,” said Jason McDaniel, interim CEO and president, ICBC.

Invasive plants pose threats
By Bev Andrews
Iwas born and raised in the beautiful town of Peachland, moved to the East Kootenays for 23 years, and came back home in 2010. In 1993 my partner and I started a business conducting invasive plant treatments, monitoring, and training sessions for various provincial agencies, regional districts, cities and municipalities in B.C. I retired in 2023, lost my partner in 2024, returned to Peachland and now live at the Residences on Sixth.
Once back home, I started to drive around Peachland to re-acquaint myself with this beautiful town. During these drives, I found several sites of invasive plant species beside roads and private properties, beside Trepanier, Lipsett, Somerset and Princeton Roads to name a few.
Some of the more aggressive, invasive species I found were, Hoary Allysum, Tree of Heaven, Scotch Thistle, and various spe-
cies of knapweed. These invasives are just a few that affect habitats and are serious economic, social, and environmental threats worldwide. They are not native to Canada and pose threats to native species and biodiversity.
The District of Peachland refers the public to report weed sites to the Regional District (RDCO). When I went online to report the sites, I found I could not, because you need to own the property where the invasives are located and I no longer own property in Peachland. If you have invasive plants on or adjacent to your property, please report online to rdco.com/weeds.
There are several sites online that you can use to help identify invasive plants (weed apps). You can also contact the RDCO, or consult an invasive plant specialist or visit info@bcinasives.ca.

The 2025 Citizens Survey has been launched: Have your say MUSINGS
It seems to me that just about everyone in Peachland has an opinion about municipal services and council priorities. Those opinions span a very wide range from potholes and goose poop at one end, through to long term planning issues about growth and development, at the other.
Why is it then, that when asked to complete a survey and express our opinion, 95% of us choose to not respond?
For example, only 231 people filled out the Downtown Revitalization Implementation Strategy (DRIS) survey, and typically, only about 300 people will respond to the just launched bi-annual Citizens Survey.
After some head scratching I came up with a pos-
sible list of reasons:
Time: We are all busy. Maybe we put it off and before we know it the deadline has come and gone. Or maybe the time needed to get, complete and return the survey, is hard to find among other priorities.
Wrong questions: Maybe we think the questions are slanted or not constructed in a way that gets to the issue that needs to be aired. Then perhaps we get annoyed and give up.
Cynicism: A feeling that whatever I have to say won’t make any difference anyway.
Being Polite: Maybe we don’t want to say what’s on our mind for fear of being rude or offensive--better to stay mum.
Didn’t Know About It:
POLICY MATTERS
Keith Fielding
Information about the survey didn’t reach me. Mood: Leave me alone. I’m not able to engage with this right now. It could be that low response rates stems from a mixture of these things. So, to see if any light bulbs went off, I decided to download
and complete it right away.
Some light bulbs did go off, but I won’t share them here and now because I don’t want to deter readers from giving their feedback. I will do that later.
The survey really does yield important information for decision makers, and I encourage everyone to take it. You can find it on the District website peachland.ca/citizenssurvey or pick up a copy at the District offices or at the community centre. Please, give it a try and send it in!

SURVEY SAYS
DEEP ROOTS
Humble beginnings for five generations of the local Todd family
Upon moving to Peachland, we promptly bought a home on Beach Avenue and Todd Road and I distinctly remember thinking, “Todd…that must be a family with deep roots in town.”
Fast forward a few years, and I have the privilege of sitting down with Graham, Kelly and Glenna, three members of the Todd family.
We chat amicably while admiring a staggering view of the lake and mountains, which Graham admits is one of the many things he loves about Peachland.
It doesn’t take long to understand why their family business, Todd’s RV and Camping, though now sold and rezoned for development, will undoubtably be known as one of the longest surviving businesses in Peachland. All three of the Todds are warm, welcoming ambassadors who clearly love our town.
They begin their story with the Todd family’s arrival in Peachland, over a century ago in 1923. At the time, William John Todd and Sarah May Todd (along with their three children: Sadie, Jef-
HOMETOWN HEART
TERESA HARRIS TRIGGIANO
frey and Leonard) were living in Manitoba after boldly travelling from Ireland to Canada in 1909.
For health reasons, William was on the hunt for a home with warmer weather and happened to notice an advertisement from Peachland boasting a saloon free town. The four of us laugh and joke that ordinarily, this may not have been an attractive town attribute to an Irishman. But as it happened, William was not a drinker and Peachland’s desired climate had caught their attention.
After an arduous journey from Manitoba to Peachland with three young children in tow, the family lived in a log cabin with a canvas roof on land that is now
the Hainle Vineyard. (Imagine the resilience to survive an Okanagan winter with a canvas roof!)
In 1928, the family purchased nearly 20 acres of land just north of Trepanier Creek and planted an orchard they subsequently worked for many years.
I read that William even served as a town councillor for Peachland for a year once retired.
While all three Todd children went on to live in Peachland for a time (Sadie remarkably until her 100th year and Leonard and June Todd for 31 years in retirement), it was Jeffrey who married Jean Girling from Vancouver, who opened the campsite then known as Todd’s Tent Town in 1957.
They had six children: Maureen, Glenna, Raymond, Barry, Kevin and Graham. Years later, Graham married a 3rd generation camper, Kelly Dallamore and the two happily took over the business, later known as Todd’s RV and Camping.
Glenna smiles as she fondly remembers also working the campsite along with every grandchild in the Todd family.
For over sixty-eight seasons the Todds have welcomed thousands of happy campers into Peachland, an immense benefaction to our town’s tourism.
So not only do the five gener-
ations of Todds have deep roots in Peachland, but their contribution is also immeasurable.

A PASSIONATE AMBASSADOR
Councillor Thom’s passing: District of Peachland announcement
PAPA THOM FROM PAGE 1
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Councillor Keith “Papa” Thom. Keith was far more than a colleague—he was a dear friend, a steady presence, and a passionate ambassador for our town of Peachland.
Over years of service—both on Council and in the community—he touched countless lives through his warmth, his music, his generous spirit, and his dedication.
Our thoughts are with his beloved wife, Mary Lynn, know that we are here for you in this difficult time.
Our deepest condolences also go out to his family, his children Fiona, Andrew, and Rachael, grandsons Maxwell and Carson, stepchildren Charles, Alexander, and Mathew.
First elected to Council in 2014 and re-elected in 2022 for another term, Keith also served as Deputy Mayor, applying his voice and his values to local government with a rare combination of heart and purpose.
He brought to the table his experience in business, construction, and adult education, tempered by the compassion of an artist.
Outside of the Council Chambers, he was known as “Papa Thom” — a beloved folksinger, songwriter and performer who used his musical platform to give back.
Food Hubs promote food security and business growth
Chances are that unless you are an orchardist or farmer you may not be aware of the growing interest in BC (no pun intended) of something called Food Hubs.
Food hubs provide for a group of growers and food processors to use a shared facility in which there is the space, equipment and machinery to test, innovate, create and determine scaling-up potential for a variety of food products.
There are currently 12 re-
gional food hubs operating or under development in B.C. including one in Summerland where last week about 200 people assembled for a ground breaking ceremony marking the start of facility construction.
The BC Food Hub Network provides grass roots structure to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food’s Grow BC, Feed BC, and Buy BC programs, which encourage greater food security and local business growth.
Through his live-streamed performances and fundraising, he raised thousands of dollars for food banks during the pandemic. His charitable efforts extended to supporting local seniors, community groups, and arts initiatives.
Keith believed in looking for the good in people, in bridging divides and building relationships.
He led with kindness and diplomacy—whether advocating for sustainable programs, asking tough questions of business licensing or representing our community at the regional level with the Southern Interior Local Government Association.
Because of his steady leadership as Deputy Mayor, the Council accomplished far more than we might otherwise have.
Let us continue to work together as he always encouraged: with open hearts, respectful dialogue, and a shared commitment to this place we all call home.
While no words can fully express the loss we feel at the passing of such a committed, generous, and talented person, we hold tight to the memory of his service, his music, his kindness, and his enduring love for Peachland.
He will be missed—deeply—by his colleagues, his friends, his family, and the community he cherished.
In honour of Keith’s legacy, let us continue to work together as he always encouraged: with open hearts, respectful dialogue, and a shared commitment to this place we all call home.
Keith’s passion was raising funds to support the homeless and the unhoused.
In that spirit of generosity, a donation to the Peachland Food Bank in his memory would be most welcome.
During this time, Keith’s family has asked for privacy as they mourn.
Further announcements will be made at the appropriate time regarding a Celebration of Life to honour his memory. ••

CLIMATE THREATS
Report outlines six potential risks to the province
If you receive the B.C. Government online news, then you might have seen links to B.C.’s Provincial Disaster and Climate Risk and Resilience Assessment (DCRRA) (October 2025).
NATURAL WONDER
Judy Wyper
At 714 pages, you understandably might not have bothered to peruse the document. But I did. I read these kinds of reports and follow research links. This comprehensive document lists and describes six big threats to our ways of life in B.C.: riverine flood; coastal flood; extreme heat; drought and water scarcity; wildfire; earthquakes.
Each of these risks is explored along with how they may affect:
natural environment; built environment; society, cultures and relationality; health and wellbeing; economy; and governance. Whew!
Looking at Drought and Water Scarcity, the report warns that low water levels can impact hydro power availability, with dams not getting a high enough volume of water for generation of power. It lists potential cascading results.
Reduced snowpacks limit how much natural recharge happens for rivers and lakes, citing problems for the Fraser and Peace Rivers. Currently the city of Dawson Creek is investigating the construction of a metre-diameter water pipeline from the Peace to bring water to their town, as their local river has dropped so low.
Climate model projections in the report show steadily drier conditions for the Okanagan Valley in the coming decades. Areas like us that rely on the winter accumulation of snowpack to recharge water systems are predicted to become increasingly vulnerable to water scarcity.
The Okanagan Basin Wa-
ter Board has dropped us to Level 2 Drought since the rains came back, but at the start of October it was Level 4.
NO HISTORY? KNOW HISTORY
by RICHARD SMITH
The origins of the cave above Hwy. 97
Do you ever wonder what the cave above Highway 97 on Drought Hill was used for?
It was likely a shelter and part of early first nation ritual. Young people reaching adulthood would go away to such places to spend days in meditation as they approached the next stage in their life.
Hunger would produce visions, helped by the solitude with only nature’s creatures for company. Two stone axes were found on the ancient trail in a nearby orchard.
The Okanagan Valley has historically been an area that experiences extreme heat during the summer. The section on heat reports on the 2021 heat dome, health risks to various age and economic groups, and descriptions of how the body reacts to heat. Drought and heat lead to wildfires.
Wildfire is described as one of the highest-ranked risks facing the province, both now and in the future. It is linked to ecological collapse, biodiversity loss, post-fire flooding, landslides and debris flows. “Smoke can cause acute adverse health impacts as well as long-term impacts and an increase in all-cause mortality.”
The tables in the report show costs of wildfires according to size, building loss, and infrastrucure.
There are general suggestions for mitigation of risk and management strategies, but there is little dedicated government funding for communities like Peachland that rely on grants.
Parts of the report are alarming to read. Drought leads to wildfires, to homes and businesses lost, water scarcity, people moving away, economic ruin. The section on governance gives examples of successful interventions by local governments, nongovernmental organizations, and neighbours.
That’s the thing about people. Disasters happen, and people who liked living in isolation gather and pull together and help one another. That’s the human spirit, something we inherited from our ancient ancestors and which we always will need.
