NDP and Greens up against Conservative incumbent in West Kelowna-Peachland

By Jeff McDonald, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

es, Peachlanders are heading to the polls tomorrow to elect a mayor and council for the next four years. But just a week later, they’re back in the voting booth to choose an MLA to represent them in Victoria. Macklin McCall won the West Kelowna-Peachland riding in 2024 for the Conservative Party of B.C. and he’s running again. Challenging him are the BC NDP’s George Morgan and the B.C. Green Party’s Adam Frank.

Voters in the riding and its previous incarnations have only ever elected candidates from right-leaning parties provincially, so the two challengers are in tough. McCall said a key issue in the riding is traffic congestion on Bridge Hill and the highway into Kelowna, bad enough that he said some people from the riding are moving into Kelowna to avoid it. A second crossing over the lake and an overpass at Westlake and at Boucherie are needed, he said. “We should be seriously discussing these things and planning it out today. We’re only going to expand more and more, both Peachland and West Kelowna.

The BC Conservatives' Macklin McCall (left) is running in West KelownaPeachland riding in the October 24 provincial election. He won the seat in 2024. Running against McCall for the seat are the BC NDP's George Morgan (right) and the BC Green Party's Adam Frank (not shown).

Things can be improved along Highway 97, Bridge Hill. Westside Road, West Lake Road at the highway, and Boucherie at the highway, those were all part of the deal in 2009 when the province built the bridge,” McCall said. “The agreement was they would build an overpass at Westside Road, and they would build two interchanges there, at West Lake and Boucherie.

They signed off on it. They still haven’t even started the project yet. That would go a long way really to helping with the congestion coming on and off the bridge.” A second pressing issue is BC Hydro’s West Kelowna Transmission Project, which has long been a priority for people in the riding.

MP REPORT

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Let Canadians buy Canadian Extracted from the Dan Albas MP Report For this week's report, I am going to focus on something that the Prime Minister says that I strongly agree with. Prime Minister Carney often likes to say that "we are the masters of our own destiny" and that we should "focus on the things that we can control." On these points, I agree with the Prime Minister. That is why I created my latest private member's bill, Bill C-262, which would allow locally produced wine, beer, and spirits to be shipped by Canada Post (and other carriers) directly to Canadians across provincial borders. Why does this matter? Here in the Okanagan, our wine industry now has a GDP contribution of between $2.0 billion and $2.8 billion CAD.Tourism revenue from the Okanagan wine industry is estimated at between $450 million and $500 million CAD annually. More importantly, jobs supported by the industry are estimated at 4,500 to 5,000+ direct jobs.

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT Dan Albas

This is part of British Columbia's broader wine sector, which employs more than 14,000 people regionally. Keep in mind that this is just the Okanagan wine industry. We also have a growing craft beer and artisan spirits industry. If you are following these industries closely, you will know that some wineries are struggling to survive and that several have entered foreclosure in recent years. When I first introduced Bill C-262, the Liberals reacted positively to the bill, as have most Canadians I have heard from on the issue. However, since then, the Liberals have taken no action.

here are plenty of hikes to do around Peachland, but Pincushion Mountain occupies a special place in hikers’ hearts. The iconic mountain rising to the west above Peachland is special enough to warrant a certificate of completion offered by the District of Peachland to anyone who completes the trail. Pincushion got its name after a fire in the 19th century reduced the trees to short blackened sticks, and the mountain resembled a sewing cushion with pins stuck in it. The Peachland Post decided to see for themselves why Pincushion and its 245-meter elevation gain is a must-climb for so many. Spoiler alert: it’s all about the views. Here’s our report.

CHANGING TIMES

A typical day has dramatically changed over the years

By Eric Hall

am not happy to include AI into my life but I have accepted the inevitable. It is easy now to get a second opinion on every decision I make, whether it is baking a cake or buying a car. So, why not ask AI for advice? And, as someone who has had a hard time understanding the need to “download the app,” I now find parking my car in Kelowna so much easier using “PayByPhone.” There are even parking places that will only accept payment by smartphone. Yes, once you cross the technology bridge, there is no going back. But the negative impact of new technology is all around us. I had car problems recently, so my wife and I used the transit bus. We en-

joyed catching the 22 and then the 97 from Westbank. But once onboard we noticed that most people had their head in their phones. We started conversations with some Mount Boucherie high school students. All five students came from other countries ~ Japan, The Netherlands and Mexico. They seemed to enjoy real conversation as a break from their smartphones. I find the comparison with my life as a high school student quite amazing. In England home phones were not common until the late 1960s. And at that time the idea of a portable phone would be like a science fiction story. If you wanted to make an appointment, you had to use the pay phone on the street corner. Sometimes it was in use, so you joined

the waiting line. The English red payphone boxes are no longer used as telephones, but some have been kept for book exchanges or to keep defibrillators. As a young boy with two older brothers, we would go off on our bicycles to visit friends. My parents had little or no idea about where we were. The street where I lived was a row of twenty houses; I knew most of the families and nobody ever seemed to move. Conversations were likely to be about the vegetables you were growing in your allotment garden. We would have had no idea about a war in the Middle East. Without a family car, a good time was down at the allotment picking out weeds and we were happy to be there. We had no way of seeing how others spent their

time; there was no checking Facebook. We were happy because we didn’t think about the things we didn’t have. Today it seems that young people worry about all the world’s problems. When we were young, we lived in blissful ignorance. By the time I was in college we had a home phone and a family car. But our TV had only one channel ~ BBC. You had to pay extra to get ITV, so we didn’t have that option. Even today you have to buy an annual TV licence to watch BBC TV; it costs about $300/year. And to get the signal, most people still use an aerial on the roof. Yes, streaming TV services are bringing change but some things there are slow to change.••

VOTING STATS

Peachland voters put other municipalities to shame

eachland is noted in the Okanagan as having the highest percentage of eligible voters who turn out to vote in municipal elections. Even so, at 48.09% (in the 2022 election) that means more than half of us did not take advantage of the opportunity to help select the mayor and council team that determined our property taxes and guided our growth and development over the past four years. Even more surprising (shocking perhaps) is the voter turn-out in some neighbouring Okanagan jurisdictions: 15.8% in Vernon, 19.6% in West Kelowna; 24.3% in Vernon; 30.3% in Kelowna. Local government is the level of government that has the most direct impact on our quality of life. Our roads, parks, fire services,

POLICY MATTERS Keith Fielding

recreation, housing supply, water security, property taxes and regional services such as waste disposal, schools, libraries and economic development are all services provided at the local level. So, why all this disinterest in exercising our hard fought for, and vigorously protected, democratic rights? It’s complicated but

some researchers suggest: Disconnect: Most municipal services that we are aware of are just “there.” They happen, don’t change a great deal, and we take it for granted that they will still be there whether or not we vote. So, going to the polls isn’t really that necessary – the world will still turn regardless of who is at the council table. Cynicism: I have opinions but whatever I have to say, won’t make any difference to anything so why bother. Complexity: I’m hearing a lot of talk and reading about various matters of a technical nature that I don’t fully understand. Candidates have differing views on options and priorities, and not being sure who to support, I will stay away.

Political Stripe: Candidates are not affiliated with political parties so it’s difficult to discern where they stand on the political spectrum. I don’t want to vote for a wolf in sheep’s clothing so I won’t vote. If you are reluctant to vote tomorrow, please reconsider, and ask yourself: Do I want change, or do I want four more years of the same? However you answer the question, do remember that it is your vote that may determine whether you get what you hope for. Keith Fielding is President of the Peachland Community Newspaper Society and editor of Peachland Post. He is also a former Peachland mayor and councillor.

SUPER STAR

The start of a Christmas tradition

ne of the last acts of the current Peachland Council, of which I’m on, was to approve a motion I’d made that I approach Peachland Elementary to get the school children to work with our fire department in decorating the 35-foot evergreen tree on Beach Avenue, across from the District Office to make it part of the annual Christmas light up. This idea was brought up last year but because we were not able to get an electrical outlet to the base of the tree on time, it didn’t happen. I raised this with CAO Cory Labreque last month during the September UBCM meeting and he had the electrical box installed the following week. The idea has always been to have the students from Peachland Elementary decorate the tree

A deserving young lady, Violet Quinn, has again been chosen to put the star on top of the Christmas tree at Peachland’s annual light up.

LOCAL COMMUNITY SPORTS Randey Brophy

and one student from Peachland Elementary, with the assistance of a bucket lift, put the star on top. The one student chosen last year, and who will be chosen this year is Peachland’s Violet Quinn. I first met Violet as a five-year old, years ago in Peachland’s mini kickers soccer sessions at the Community Center. She immediately stood out as a fearless hard-working

player both her male and female teammates admired for her work ethic. (Much like her younger sister Lucy who also has played soccer for years for Peachland.) Violet was stricken with cancer a few years ago and had to quit soccer to fight it. She has won that fight several times, most recently last week at Vancouver Children’s hospital. The Quinn family’s fighting spirit can be summed up in one instance after the Peachland girls’ soccer team’s first game four years ago. Both the girls and boys had played their first games at the same time at the five-field soccer complex at Penticton’s Kings Park. Coach Martin Desaulniers and myself had been coaching the boys and didn’t know the outcome of the first Peachland girls’ games. The Peachland coaches, Martin and myself for the boys’ team, and Tristin Ahern and Mark Wilson coaching the girls’ team were wondering how the kids would do against Summerland, Penticton, Oliver and Osoyoos. No parent or coach wants to put their children in over their heads when they are learning a new sport. The boys had done fine, playing four 15-minute games against three other communities on that first day. But how had the girls done? I saw soccer Mom Shawna

Quinn pulling out of the parking lot with daughter Lucy and stopped her to ask how the Peachland girls had done.She stopped the car, rolled down the window and fist pumping, yelled,“The Peachland Girls Kicked Ass!!!” I laughed and asked her daughter,“How many goals did you get, Lucy?” “Four!” she yelled proudly, fist pumping like Mom. “And how many are you going to get next week?” I asked. “Five!”Lucy yelled back. And she did. In fact, Lucy’s Peachland Girls soccer team, coached by Tristin and Mark, did not lose a game for the next two years. Lucy’s older sister Violet just came out of an operation recently where she’s “kicked cancer’s ass” again. God willing, the oldest of the fighting Quinn sisters will be hanging the star this year on the top of the children’s Christmas tree at this year’s Peachland Christmas light up. Randey Brophy has coached youth soccer and baseball for 32 years. He spearheaded the drive for Turner Park to be redeveloped as a multiuse field in 2022 and formed the Peachland Youth Soccer club in 2023.

ELECTION 2026

Candidates point to highway traffic, wildfires, housing as key issues PROVINCIAL FROM PAGE 1

“We’re serviced by the only one Hydro line. We have really to the end of this year, it’s a couple more months to have public input and let the province and BC Hydro know this is an issue,” he said. McCall said he understands Peachland’s issues and supports more provincial funding for future expansion of Peachland’s water supply and other infrastructure priorities like sewer and road expansions. He said larger B.C. cities like Vancouver don’t need as much support in terms of the tax base. “There should be more of a sustained kind of funding for communities that are smaller that need more assistance,” he said. Months of internal turmoil and caucus departures leading to the resignation of Kerry Anne Findlay shouldn’t dissuade voters from choosing the Conservatives, McCall said. The party is unified and ready to work hard for British Columbians and can offer solutions to the problems facing the province, he said, and a decade of NDP rule has created problems that weren’t there before. NDP candidate George Morgan said two priority issues for him are housing and cost of living.“Some of the issues that I’ve been seeing are a lack of affordable housing.

Affecting how people are staying in their homes or getting access to the housing market. We’re seeing problems in the affordability and cost of living, whether it be like groceries or just everyday essentials,” he said. “Obviously, there’s been the issues with the wildfires in the last few years, and we need to make sure that we continue our efforts of fire mitigation,” he said. As to how the NDP government would approach those problems, Morgan said the government has been taking action on them. “So we’ve been seeing that the BC NDP has come out supporting farmers and capping essential staples for the cost of groceries, and we’ve been investing heavily in detox centers and increased police presence to help with homelessness. We’ve been seeing that the rents have been coming down more than 10 per cent over the last two years and we’re continuing to announce more as part of our plan to address wildfires and the issues of West Kelowna-Peachland and BC as a whole,” he said. Now 23 years old, Morgan has lived in his West Kelowna home since age six. According to the bcndp.ca website, he did a bachelor’s degree in physics at UBCO and is working on a master’s in mechanical engineering. He has extensive volunteer

experience at Kelowna General Hospital and worked as a swimming instructor and lifeguard. He’s a director on the Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers Executive Board, the website says. “I bring a unique experience to the NDP caucus. While the BC NDP is really focused on the issues that matter to our community, there’s always more to be done. And as a young person, I think I can bring fresh ideas and a unique perspective to the issues that are affecting people in West Kelowna-Peachland,” he said. “There’s plenty of issues in our community, and I’m seeing that the BCNDP isworking on them and is continuing to make investments into BC and I want to be a strong voice in our community for that.”

Morgan said that premier David Eby’s decision to call an election even though the NDP had a majority in the BC legislature and two years left in their mandate was the right one because the majority was slim and things have changed since 2024. “The people of BC always deserve to have a say,” he said. “And while there was a slim majority, one member had passed and another had cancer. So we’re in uncertain times and we need a strong mandate from the people of British Columbia to make those kinds of tough decisions and move forward when we’ve got a trade war with new tariffs and changing conditions.” The Green Party’s Adam Frank did not respond to requests for an interview by press time.••

For Peachland Council Committed to our community! I support lower taxes but rapid development is not the answer. We need to review what we pay managers and consultants.

We have a water problem that is expensive to fix. No new development should be approved before we have a plan.

I am cautious about development but a strong supporter of business. We need to do more to support Peachland businesses.

ESTRANGEMENT

Why are families suddenly cutting connections?

here are many theories as to why estrangement is on the rise, but it is considered an epidemic of our culture. It’s defined as “a state of no longer being friendly or close with someone, marked by the loss of trust, affection or regular communication.” Also, now known as “cut off culture.” In the US, 25-38% of adults are estranged from their family members. And 80% of the estrangement is initiated by adult children. Some reasons stem

from prioritizing personal mental health and setting boundaries. Destructive family dynamics cause individuals to extract themselves from unhealthy relationships, but this isn’t always the case. While researching this topic, I came across several Facebook support groups. One was welcoming new members. I was brought to tears to see that they welcomed almost 500 new mothers to the platform in just the month of August 2026. I was moved and went deeper into the estrangement epidemic. It turns out that some media platforms and influencers are encouraging young adults to “go no contact.” The levels

NO HISTORY? KNOW HISTORY! by RICHARD SMITH

Peachland’s former fish company There was such an abundance of Kokanee in both Deep Creek and Trepanier creeks that the town once had a small fish company that provided kokanee and possibly even the then abundant Kamloops trout to the CPR paddle wheelers. This odd story was told by the old-timer Jim Clements, who also had in his possession for many years a wooden box with the words ‘Peachland Fish Company’ stencilled on it. It seems that fish were caught commercially on a very small scale and sold to the CPR for use in the dining rooms of the lake sternwheelers.

of this can start with ghosting or blocking texts and emails to telling parents that they are “toxic” or that they aren’t “safe.” Again, there are situations where safety is an issue, however, many of the parents that I’ve spoken with are dumbfounded by the accusations and feel the shame, guilt and emotional turmoil whilst trying to understand what went wrong. Estrangement and alienation are not limited to parents of adult children. Many elders including grandparents are facing this with their family members. After years of taking care of grandchildren and managing varying degrees of challenges, they face segregation, judgement and blame for not getting it “right.” I’m aware some adult children have taken a path that is detrimental to the well being of their relationships and parents may be facing their own health challenges. For this reason, they need to step away to literally “save themselves.” The situation is complex. Overall, we are facing a serious issue that divides the core of who we are and where we have come from, when we need each other most. Who knew that political views could create division this severe between parent and

child? But sadly, it’s one of the main causes in North America. So where do we go from here? If you’re facing estrangement and want to call, text or email, you may worry that you’re too much or not enough.Those facing this develop a thick skin, but sadly there is also an increased risk of suicide ideation and attempt. If you or someone you know is at risk of self harm and estrangement has affected the ability to function daily, please contact your health professional or encourage your friends and family to do so. I am in the process of developing a meet up group to support individuals coping with family estrangement. I have found my training in yoga therapy and counselling to give me the resources and skills to stay afloat. Piece by piece we can put ourselves back together and find community and tools to take better care of ourselves while we stay in “the waiting room”. Please contact me at bodyomyoga@ shaw.ca, if you would like to be added to the meetup group list. Dawn Boys is a IAYT Yoga therapist, Ayurvedic counsellor, personal trainer, student counsellor and outdoor enthusiast.

Thanksgiving luncheon at 50+ Centre a great success Thanks to the Peachland Wellness Centre and a team of hard working volunteers more than 100 people enjoyed a turkey dinner and good company at the 50+ Activity Centre last Sunday. Another 40 or so Peachland residents

unable to attend in person, had a meal delivered to their home. Our photographer, Martha McKenzie, was on hand to capture some images (below and right) of this much enjoyed annual occasion.

ROAD NAME

(Part 2) Last week’s entry concerned Bill Miller, after whom Miller Road was named. However, the name also honours other significant individuals named Miller. The first of these were the three Miller brothers, Alex, Oliver, and James. They were in the area even before J.M. Robinson founded Peachland. It appears that Alex was an avid fisherman and that the three were a wild bunch, described as “far from being teetotalers.” A kinder description, however, has James and Ollie referred to as “a profound social group, bridge and chess their keen interests.” Ollie is reported to have been the individual responsible for servicing the Squally Point lighthouse – getting there and back by rowboat. All three brothers married, although it appears that only James had children – two daughters. The other individual honoured by Miller Road was Alfred Miller, who retired here in 1942 after spending 30 years as an orchardist in Kelowna. Alfred Miller served briefly Extracted from The Road Names of Peachland: in 1947 as Peachland’s 13th Reeve, being elected to replace Reeve Chidley who had The Origins of Their Names 2nd Edition resigned because of ill-health. Miller also served as a councillor in 1947 and again from 1952 to 1959. He died in 1971.
