No progress on the Ponderosa development frustrates investors and golf lovers
No observable progress on any of the required work.
By Keith Fielding
At one time Peachland had a simple but highly popular golf course at the top of Ponderosa Drive. In fact, it was so popular that when the news broke that a developer wanted to turn the land into a destination golf resort with a Greg Norman essary zoning and OCP changes,
separate entities: Rompsen, a real estate investment group that now owns the southern portion of the lands, and Beech Westwood, a group that in association with Westbank First Nations owns the northern part of the property. With the original plan no longer in force, the Rompsen group were first to come to council seeking approval to build. The request was for permission to
build 445 homes. Peachland required as a condition of approval that the plan had to include a nine hole golf course and completion of a road connection between Somerset and Ponderosa. Necessary zoning and OCP changes were made and an agreement reached with Rompsen about project time lines and sequencing.

SENIORS SUPPORT
What you need to know about applying for occupancy at The Residences on Fifth
By editor
At the present rate of construction, the Peachland Seniors Support Society (PSSS) anticipates that the Phase 2 seniors housing building, the Residences on Fifth, will be ready for occupancy in early 2026. Given that timeline, Peachland Post decided to update our readers on relevant details about the building, eligibility for occupancy and the application process.
The project is being built in partnership between PSSS and BC Housing, with support from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and the District of Peachland, which made the land available for the project.
There are a total of 73 apartment units, of which 61 are one bedroom and 12 are two bedrooms. Of the one bedroom units, 15 are designed with accessibility features. The units vary in size with the one bedroom accessible units being approximately 587 sq ft and the regular one bedroom units being approximately 560 sq ft. The two bedroom units are approximately 800 sq ft. As with Phase 1, all units have balconies and come with appliances installed.
Phase 1 and Phase 2 residents have shared access to the grounds, which include flower beds, a gazebo, a bocci court and community garden planters. Inside the building there is community meeting space.
Rental rates vary depending on income levels and fall into three categories: “deep subsidy” (income below $23,549 per annum); “rent geared to income” (income between $23,549 and below $40,000 or $55,00 if a two bedroom unit is required); and “near market rate” (income not greater than $85,870 for one bedroom and $138,770 for two bedrooms.)
Although some change is possible before occupancy, the currently estimated rental rates are: $500/ month for the deep subsidy category; 30% of annual income for those in the rent geared to income category, and for the near market category either $1450 or $1800/month depending on whether the unit has one or two bedrooms.
In keeping with District of Peachland requirements, any residents in Phase 2 having a car and requiring parking will be required to pay a parking fee. The fee (also applicable to any new residents in the Phase 1 building) will be either $35, $75 or $100 per month depending on the resident’s rental occupancy category.
In order to be considered for occupancy, applicants must be listed on the BC Housing Registry. Registration can be done online or by filling out a paper copy.
To complete and submit an application online visit bchousing.org/housing-assistance/rental-housing/how-to-apply.
To use the mail-in method you can either download a paper copy from the BC Housing website (as shown above) or you can pick up a paper copy from The Residences on Sixth between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm on any weekday. Property Manager
Jodie Brennan, will be able to answer any questions you may have about the application process.
If you already have an application that does not include the Phase 2 building, you can call 1-800-257-7756 to add The Residences on Fifth to your application with building code reference DUQ.
The application document requires disclosure of information regarding income and assets and your agreement to verification procedures: this information is necessary to establish financial eligibility and the applicant’s rental category.
Once eligibility and rental category are established, tenant selection is based on criteria that include: currently residing in Peachland; desire to move back to Peachland; need to relocate to Peachland to be closer to family; reference checks; and applicant interviews with the housing provider. Urgency of need is also a factor.
“This project fills a major gap in Peachland’s need for affordable seniors housing,” said Property Manager, Jodie Brennan, adding that “its downtown location and proximity to services, including those offered by the Peachland Wellness Centre, are especially important for residents.”

Peachland’s beauty lies deeper than its scenic surroundings
By Kym martin
Nine years ago, my spouse and I moved to Peachland, drawn as so many are, to its breathtaking beauty. We fell in love with the lake views, the mountains, and quiet. As we settled in, we discovered something even more remarkable than the scenery—the deep culture of caring that defines this community. Nowhere is that spirit more clearly reflected than in the work of the Peachland Wellness Centre. The PWC began with a group of caring neighbours who wanted to ensure seniors could stay in their community as they age. Over the last 20 plus years, it has grown into a cornerstone of compassion and connection for the community. The Wellness Centre under-
stands that while self-care is important, community care is essential. A town focused only on self-care creates healthy individuals. A community of in-
saw firsthand how much this matters. While she had family, she became isolated from her community through a rotation of nurses and care aides who, while
dividuals connected through caring creates something far more powerful. A caring community truly believes that no one person should ever be left behind.
In Ottawa, when my mother was living with dementia, we
professional, were often harried, rushed and nameless. Our mom would have benefitted greatly had she been surrounded by a caring circle who knew her well, provided rides to medical appointments, dropped in for friendly
visits, delivered her groceries and kept an eye on how she was doing emotionally and socially.
PWC programs and services, powered by over 100 volunteers, provide resources, comfort, and understanding when it is needed most.
Through their programs and people, the Wellness Centre reminds us that caring isn’t just an act, it’s a way of life.
We came to Peachland for the beauty. We stayed for the community. And every day, we’re grateful to live in a town where the true heart of wellness lies not only in taking care of ourselves, but in taking care of each other.

INPUT LACKING
Private Members Bill rings local government alarm bells
The Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) and the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) are both protesting to the Provincial Government about the dangerous erosion of municipal authority that would occur if a Private Members Bill known as “The Professional Reliance Act” comes into force. If passed, this legislation will require local governments to accept the opinions of professionals such as engineers, architects, hydrologists, and other defined practitioners (regardless of who hired them) as being of sufficient standing to meet any requirement for a professional opinion when needed for project approval or issue of a permit.
UBCM have registered their strong opposition to the Bill, pointing out that it reflects “a
continuing trend towards sweeping centralized legislation,” stating that it undermines local government authority and accountability and was advanced for review and approval without any meaningful local government input.”
Meanwhile the Okanagan Basin Water Board is registering similar concerns, claiming that the Bill threatens to dismantle critical local government safeguards for B.C.’s watersheds and drinking supplies. A recent OBWB News Release points out that the Bill’s stated purpose is to “streamline development” and that it would force municipalities to accept development submissions certified by professionals even when local staff identify concerns or potential risks to the environment.
It is both disturbing and ironic that this Bill should be coming

through for review and approval at a time when more and more municipalities, including the District of Peachland, are expressing their concern to the Provincial Government about their inability to protect source water and other environmental assets due to lack of authority to regulate what happens in their watersheds: activities such as logging, mining, cattle grazing and recreational
use being of regulatory concern.
The OBWB, which represents the North, South, and Central Okanagan Regional Districts and their member municipalities, is not noted for taking strong advocacy positions. However, in this instance Executive Director, Melissa Tesche was very clear: “We urge the Province to set the Bill aside, start fresh and initiate a structured consultation process,” adding that “any reforms to professional reliance must strengthen, not weaken, watershed protection and environmental due diligence.”
We will monitor and report on how this important issue unfolds.

BEST FOOT FORWARD
Healing from the feet up starting first thing in the morning
As we move out of our barefoot season and cram our feet into boots for another winter, we should acknowledge that restricting them affects our health in various ways.
As a yoga therapist, I spend a good deal of time in class working with feet. Having had double foot reconstructive surgery when I was 15, I have a personal appreciation for these impressive roots that stand us up and get us around.
Massage techniques stimulate peripheral nerves that innervate the chain up the legs. Physiotherapists and chiropractors often recommend their patients roll their feet to loosen up the tension in the legs and wake up the body prior to movement.
The shape of the foot corresponds to specific areas in the body as identified by those who practice
reflexology. The toes are the brain, head, sinuses, eyes, ears and neck. The ball of the foot is upper thoracic and lungs, shoulders & arms, heart as well as the diaphragm. Within the soft tissue of the arch are the organs of diges-
tion, detoxification and elimination. The heel is associated with the legs, hips and the inner arch of the foot from the big toe to the heel is the spine.
So how does one bring some foot awareness and exercise into their daily life? It’s important to mention that if you have a foot deformity, have a recent
the big toe to baby toe and inner and outer heel on the ground. How do they all land? Do your feet roll in or are your aches high? Look at an older pair of
injury or surgery, or if it’s painful to put pressure on your foot, you should contact your doctor to determine whether foot exercises are appropriate.
Foot awareness can help reduce leg pain, increase proprioception and aid in fall prevention, as well as encourage blood flow and stimulate the entire body through these reflex points.
If you were to start simply, just notice your feet as you rise in the morning. Place your feet firmly on the ground and notice

shoes to see where the tread is worn. This can say a lot about where you over stimulate and lack stimulation on the foot. Gentle massage techniques like rubbing your bare foot on the carpet as though you were scratching an itch can be a good start. Try being barefooted in a seated position and lay a tea towel under your foot. Try to grab it with your toes and release, trying it again a few times. Don’t worry if that’s hard! If we’re not used to moving our toes then it can be tricky! If you’re curious about learning more foot exercises and massages, come try my chair yoga at Peachland Wellness Centre or my therapeutic yoga at the Peachland Community Centre. And don’t forget to give your feet some love. They’ve taken you lots of places in your life and maybe many more.

A frustrating wait for progress
STALLED FROM PAGE 1
In 2024, Richard Weldon, the Chairman of Rompsen, attended a council meeting via a video link, assuring council that the development would go forward as agreed. However, to date there has been no observable progress on any of the required work. All deadlines have been missed and council has recently invoked noncompliance penalties on Rompsen of $100,000 month.
So, how has all this left the residents who purchased the original 69 homes?
We asked Geoff Trafford, one of those owners, to reflect on what it has meant for him and his neighbours. Understandably they are not happy campers.
“The District expected work to commence on all fronts,” wrote Trafford. “Nothing in the agreements has materialized. NO roadway between Ponderosa and Somerset, NO first stage golf course development, in fact NO tangible work at all on the golf course, and NO real estate development.”
Trafford suggests that if Rompsen is asked to explain their lack of progress they may well say that the District is difficult to work with and use any evidence they can produce in support of that claim to justify themselves.
However, he points out, the real cause is the financial realities facing the developer who must make investment decisions based on financial return prospects.
“Would you,” asked Trafford, “invest money to build a golf course as part of an agreement when the real estate market in which you are selling is at best uncertain? Maybe it’s better to delay and perhaps even pay the penalties imposed by the district.”
Trafford asked his neighbours about their views on all things Ponderosa. “Without exception,” he reported, “they believe that the only way the golf course can become a reality for Peachland is if the District enforces its approval conditions and deadlines.”
Trafford reported that one owner said, “The golf course will only be built if the District continues to hold the developer’s feet to the fire. If they are permitted to wriggle off the hook they surely will.”
Residents were asked whether the golf course and development vision affected their buying decision. “It was unequivocally a factor,” reported Trafford, “with for many it being the main reason they bought.”
How do they feel about all this, they were asked. The responses are predictable

but differently nuanced.
One Trails owner said, “We purchased our home in 2012 because of the golf course. We paid more money to have a place adjacent to a tee box. We are very disappointed with the way the city has handled this and every other development in our community. It appears they expect developers to handle infrastructure upgrades that the city, our government, should be handling. Many times this appears to cause huge delays or stops the development all together.”
A second owner said, “The failure to get the golf course completed as originally advertised has no doubt affected home prices. The development plan originally included a hotel resort which would have added additional revenue to other businesses in our community and would have cemented Peachland as a golf destination in the Okanagan. One only

has to spend an hour at the airport in the summer to see how many tourists arrive with golf clubs.”
A third owner said, “The continued delay or failure to complete the golf course will likely lead to us rethinking our plans for making Peachland our forever home.”
A BC government notice suggests that there are still more hurdles before the course can become a reality. “The project footprint overlaps sensitive terrain; future approvals will likely continue to be tied to environmental, archaeological and geotechnical conditions previously referenced in planning materials.”
Will the developer push ahead with construction plans? “We don’t know,” said Trafford. “For residents and golfers there is space for cautious optimism. The current vision remains alive, but delivery and timelines are still in the fog of high finance and government decision makers.”

Amazing team reunites after 18 years
The six-member team who organized amazing year long, 2009, Peachland Centennial celebrations, held an 18-year reunion at Porto Peach Restaurant on October 9, 2025. The team reflected on their work in a note to Peachland Post.
“The event-filled Centennial Year started with the New Year’s Eve Kid’s Carnival followed by a Family Celebration with fireworks at dusk, and music and dancing into the New Year. It ended a year later with a Gala Evening of dining and dancing to a 20-piece orchestra at the Community Centre. In between, there were over 70 events and projects for every age and interest.
We had our own Peachland Centennial Wine (produced by Greata Ranch), postage stamps,
as well as peach-flavoured Peachland Centennial Tea (produced by Murchie’s Teas and Coffees), and an enormous cake.
Peachlanders could renew their marriage vows, swim to Rattlesnake Island, compose a song, become a Canadian citizen, design an Easter bonnet, fire a piece of pottery and explore amateur radio and scuba diving. All manner of Centennial souvenirs were produced and made available in Peachland stores. The Victoria Day weekend featured not only a special Centennial version of World of Wheels, but also a Pioneers and Old-Timers Reunion and, on the Monday, a parade of military, RCMP, vintage cars and fire trucks. This parade was graced by the Lieutenant Governor of B.C., Steven Point, and his wife

Gwendolyn. The Lieutenant Governor was presented with a golden peach by Mayor Keith Fielding.
In July, in an extraordinary act of generosity, Harry and Brenda Gough, owners of the Peachland IGA store, hosted what was probably the biggest outdoor picnic in the history of Peachland. Admission was by donation and all proceeds were divided between the Peachland Food Bank and the Wellness Centre.
Of lasting significance was
the presentation of the Centennial Rotary Clock, unveiled by the Lieutenant Governor, and the opening of Centennial Way which today attracts enthusiastic year-round walkers.”
Further information about the Centennial Year can be found in a 16-page article, including 27 photographs, contained in The Chronicles of Peachland: History of the Years 1984-2012. This book is still available at the Peachland Museum.••
ROAD NAME of the week
BUCHANAN ROAD is named for Dr. William Muir Buchanan, Peachland’s third and longest-serving Medical Officer of Health, who practiced here from 1911 to 1934.
William Buchanan was born in 1859, graduated from Glasgow University, and practiced medicine in Glasgow for 25 years before coming to Canada.
It was the health of Mrs. Elizabeth Buchanan that led to the decision to leave Glasgow with their family of five children and come to the Okanagan. Dr. Buchanan was thus already in his fifties when he arrived in Peachland.
He was a very well-loved and respected doctor and a generous one too, especially during the depression years, when folk, if they paid him at all, often did so with goods rather than money.
Dr. and Mrs. Buchanan spent the rest of their lives in Peachland. They celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary in 1937 but, sadly, Elizabeth Buchanan died in 1938. Dr. Buchanan himself died tragically in 1944, aged 85, when, living alone, his house caught fire and he was unable to escape.
The road on which he had lived was named Buchanan Road.

The local revenue generated from local sports
In 2022 a coed team of 13 former players from the 30 teams of the lower mainland BCTEL Slopitch league came up for a weekend party/game with the Peachland senior coed slo-pitch team.
The food, lodging and entertainment revenue generated in Peachland that weekend, from that one visiting team of 13 people, totaled over $12K. Four visiting teams would have easily generated $50K
With Turner Park now open, Peachland now has two slo-pitch fields (one at Cousins’ park the other at Turner) and four 8-aside youth soccer fields (2 at Turner 2 at Cousins). The opportunities for larger slo-pitch tournaments and new soccer tournaments generating revenue in town during the Spring/Summer are significant.
There are 10 coed Peachland teams in the adult slo-pitch league, who currently play both a Spring and Summer season at Cousins Park. An additional 2 senior coed Peachland slo-pitch teams play in the Central Okanagan Senior Slo pitch League with Cousins Park as their home field.
With Turner Park adding another slo-pitch field, we now have the facilities to add another and/or expand a slo-pitch tournament in Peachland, in addition to the current one held at Cousins Park. Add a tournament slo-pitch dance at the Edgewater and you have a summer gold
mine, generated by the added ball diamond at Turner Park.
The Edgewater Pub currently sponsors three Peachland slo-pitch teams each season, one senior slo-pitch team and two adult slopitch teams. Smart businessmen, the sponsoring of these teams means a lot of post game get togethers, with both home and visiting teams occur at the Edge.
Same with soccer. Having just got a new soccer field at Turner in September and having soccer enrollment doubling, from 31 children on two teams in 2024, to 65 Peachland children on four teams in 2025, Peachland will be hosting soccer tournaments next Spring.
Indeed, hosting Peachland’s first home soccer game this past season alone, significantly added to daily revenue at Ships Ahoy restaurant as coach Tristan Ahern treated his entire Peachland’s girls’ team to ice cream after the game. (see photo)
Same with pickleball. We will hopefully be successful in adding two courts to the existing
two at Lambly Park next year. Having four courts outside and another four inside at the Community Centre gives us enough to host a tournament.
Peachland recreational facilities are expanding, for youth (soccer), adults (slo-pitch) and seniors (pickleball). In addition to the physical and social benefits from added recreational opportunities
for Peachland residents, there will also be very real financial benefits to Peachland businesses. Randey Brophy has coached youth soccer and baseball for 32 years. He spearheaded the drive for Turner Park to be redeveloped as a multi-use field in 2022 and formed the Peachland Youth Soccer club in 2023. He also manages and plays on a Peachland seniors slo-pitch team.
Bear family now residing on Peachland lakefront
Now that this stunning work of art “The Four Directions Bear Family,” created by Indigenous sculptor Steward Steinhauer, has been lowered into its twoyear resting place on Peachland’s lakefront, it is timely to remind ourselves of what it represents culturally.
The sculpture shows the spiritual “Sweetgrass Bear” with four of her children each facing a different compass point. The artist’s explanatory material notes that in Cree culture the term ‘four directions’ could be interpreted to refer to four important Cree values: humble kindness; honesty; sharing; and determination.
The artist also notes that the granite from which the bears are carved represents another “four directions” with each granite being different in colour and origin, but united in spirit—the spirit of mother earth who gave birth to them.
Peachland Post was appalled to learn of someone having been seen riding on the back of the
mother bear in rodeo fashion. Let’s get those security cameras up and running and hope that their presence will deter any other senseless acts of vandalism to this beautiful piece of public art.

When
Hardy Falls ran bright red NO HISTORY? KNOW HISTORY by
Hardy Falls actually ran bright red on a sunny day but alas it was not blood but red dye used to protest the release of water from the Brenda Mine.
Environmentalists felt it was contaminated so they put dye above the falls to create this shocking effect. It was only brief but the message was clear.
