Development Cost Charge shock waves quelled in 4-step Boogie
By Keith Fielding
At an Urban Systems-led council workshop held at the end of October, council heard some shocking news. Using the information available at that time, Peachland’s Development Cost Charges (DCCs) payable by a developer wanting to build a single family home on a residential lot, would need to go from their present level of $31,000 to $80,000, making Peachland’s DCCs the highest in the Okanagan.
“That will scare away our developers,” noted Mayor Van Minsel, at the time. “We need to end up in the middle of the pack.”
Back to the beginning: what are DCCs? The Urban Systems report reminds us that DCCs are a financial tool that helps communities to claim from developers the cost of the infrastructure improvements needed

PEACHLAND’S DCC
to facilitate growth -- those being for roads, water, sewer, drainage, fire halls and police stations.
Other growth-related costs such as those in social, recreational and environmental areas are captured from developers through community amenity charges. Those too, council learned, were being under-recovered and should be increased. However, that was not the only dramatic news. Council also learned that even with the enhanced DCCs, Peachland’s share of the financial burden associated with maintaining its current and future infrastructure assets would need to increase from its current level of approximately $1 million per year to $6 million per year, every year for the next 20 years.
At the time, CAO Joe Creron noted that all municipalities were in a similar situation due in part to lack of infrastructure funding coming from federal and provincial sources. It was also noted that the 20-year program of capital works underlying the DCC calculations, as well as the assumptions used to determine costs, were all subject to review.

Latest waterfront attraction now open for business
By Keith Fielding
Nina and Braden Demkowsky are thrilled to have successfully jumped through all the hoops necessary to open Peachland’s newest lakeside attraction --a sauna.
Those hoops included satisfying all the inspection, licensing and permit requirements of various authorities including Interior Health, the Fire Department, and other District of Peachland regulatory bodies.
“It did take a while to get all the permits we needed,” explained Braden, “but everyone was great to deal with and really very helpful.”
Not least of the challenges was actually building the sauna. “That I did myself,” explained Braden. “I wanted it to be capable of being moved across rough terrain and as robust as a Bronco Raptor.”
And judging from appearances that is exactly what he has created. Inside the sauna is a wood burning Narvi furnace and rock bed, fully paneled walls and ceiling, and seating benches that can cozily seat a group of four to six.
“It’s a social gathering experience with community building potential,” explained Nina. “Groups can book it online and reserve a spot for a particular time.”
“There’s nothing like jumping into the cold lake, warming up in the sauna and repeating the process,” added Brendan.
“I anticipate organizing some running circuits starting and ending back at the sauna, that people can participate in as a group.
“Walking groups might also enjoy that opportunity,” added Nina, “it’s really all about building community.”
Nina and Braden have lived in Peachland for the past four years. During that time they have helped their friends and neighbours to enjoy their sauna on a social basis. That has given them the experience and encouragement to broaden its use into a business venture serving the wider community.
With their friendly, outgoing personalities and enthusiasm for this project it seems certain that they will soon be building a like-minded community of sauna devotees.
You will soon be able to book sessions through Nina and Braden’s website www.sweatculture. ca and before that component is activated, by email at sweatculture. ca@gmail.com
Peachland Post wishes them well with their community building project. ••

CANDY CANE LANE
ARTHUR STREET
Road name of the week
This short, dead-end road that runs off Lakeview Avenue was named by John Moore Robinson, the founder of Peachland, and appears on his 1902 map.
Although Robinson did not name a road after himself, he did name several after his family members.
It is believed that this road was named to honour his brother, Arthur Thomas, who was fourteen years younger.
Arthur, a Baptist and usually referred to as Rev. A.T. Robinson, came to Peachland with the founding of the community in 1898. He was associated with both
of his brother’s companies – the Peachland Townsite Company and the earlier Canadian and American Gold Mining Company – and it was Arthur who preached the very first religious services in Peachland.
Both John and Arthur left Peachland in the early 1900’s, John to found the District of Summerland. Previously the community had been known as Rivière de Trout, and it was Arthur who persuaded John to rename the community as Summerland.
Arthur died in Summerland in 1941, aged 72, and is buried in Peach Orchard Cemetery.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Memory honored in print
Dear Editor,
I was pleasantly surprised to see an article on my great uncle Piper James C. Richardson VC in the November/December 2025 issue of the Royal Canadian Legion magazine who was awarded posthumously a Victoria Cross for his actions during the Battle of the Somme in October 1916. With the passing of Remembrance Day recently, it’s nice to see even so many years later his memory and actions still garner so much attention from so many people.

GROWING CONCERN
A challenge to those who believe that community prosperity depends on growth
Today’s front page story about council’s development cost charge (DCC) review process attempts simply to report on the findings being presented to council by its consultants, Urban Systems.
What the feature does not try to do, is make judgments about the process used, or the conclusions reached--not because critical review is unimportant, but because any such analysis is best done separately and made from a defined set of values and beliefs about Peachland’s future growth and development.
To start that conversation (albeit at the risk of greatly oversimplifying things) there are broadly two streams of thought at play: one stream being that growth and development is great
for the town and should be vigorously pursued for the overall social and economic benefits to be derived, including lower property taxes; the other stream being pretty much the opposite.
In the opposite camp (let’s call them low growth enthusiasts) we have: people who want only a very modest level of growth (or even none at all); people who see no evidence that growth leads to lower property taxes; people who believe that growth actually increases our tax burden because the costs of growth are under-recovered; and people who fear that the agenda of the pro-growth camp will ruin our small town charm; and cost us financially and environmentally.
As a non growth enthusiast myself I find nothing in the
DCC workshop material to convince me that my financial and taxation related concerns are the slightest bit misplaced.
In fact it seems clear to me that despite a heavy pruning of the 20 year capital works plan (involving as it does discard of some desirable projects and scaling back of others) that the district’s quest to “end up
in the middle of the DCC pack,” results in developer subsidies, and the district (you and I) paying the lion’s share of the costs of growth.
But, what would I be saying if I was in the opposite camp? I really don’t know, but I would love to hear from someone willing to argue the case that the low growth camp is misguided and that our community prosperity depends on more and more growth.
Any takers willing to give it a go? Let me know and you can have 600 words!

PROTECTION NEEDED
Protest rallies across B.C. to protect old growth
On November 18, environmental groups rallied together across the province, in Victoria, Nelson, Vernon, Revelstoke, Smithers, Courtenay, Parksville, Prince George, Grand Forks, Penticton, Port Coquitlam, and Powell River, in defense of old growth forests. They called for “transparency, ecological integrity, and a real shift toward sustainable forest stewardship.”
park, where we joined hands and sang songs of solidarity.
In Vernon, the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance (PWPA) was part of the Interior Watershed Task Force that met with numerous groups at the office of District Manager for Ministry of Forests Ray Crampton. He answered questions for over 30 minutes. PWPA’s Taryn Skalbania was interviewed for Global TV.
I attended the rally at Penticton’s City Hall. There were noise makers, bull horns, and an actual horn made from a horn. There were speeches, impromptu talks, and even a moving poem. There was a walk to a huge tree in the
Broken Promises rallies were a call to the B.C. government to make good on its promises to protect old growth, water and watersheds. The current culture of forestry is seeing an increase in harvesting of old growth trees.

Judy Wyper
An example is Drax, a company running wood pellet plants in Houston, Burns Lake and Meadowbank. Drax purchased logged trees from at-risk old growth forests in British Columbia in 2024 to supply its wood pellet plants. At least 3,039 truckloads of whole logs were purchased from forests containing old growth. Stand.earth used publicly available data, including invoices and weigh slips; Forest Eye, their satellite monitoring tool; and eyewitness documentation. An old growth forest in the wet coastal and interior wet belt regions is typically 250 years old. Dry interior forests are usually considered old at 140 years. Old growth tends to have more standing dead trees and decomposing wood than younger forests. The trees are often larger, and the forest canopy is layered, with openings that allow light,

encouraging the growth of understory vegetation such as ferns, shrubs, mosses and lichens.
Old growth forests hold legacy DNA, with abilities to survive beetles and fires, and still undiscovered strengths. Their unique habitats support diverse flora and fauna, from large and small mammals, birds, and amphibians, to mosses, lichens and liverworts, to species at risk. Species that depend on old growth forests include the Marbled murrelet, Northern spotted owl, Fisher, and Pileated woodpecker.
Old growth forests are critically important to First Nations and the public, whether for biological, spiritual, aesthetic, economic or cultural values. They reduce greenhouse gas emissions, remove carbon from the atmosphere and store carbon as living and dead organic matter. Old growth forests bring economic benefits to B.C., as eco tourism attracts visitors from around the world.
Old growth forests are not easily replaced; it takes at least 140-250 years to grow back an old growth forest and another two to three times longer for an ancient forest to develop. They need our protection.

Council review of DCC rates guided by Urban Systems review
DCC FROM PAGE 1 has been to re-examine the scope of work for each remaining project and see how it might be scaled back by, for example, using a low rise barrier on a pathway instead of a curb and gutter. Scope reductions, the report notes, can shave another $27.47 million from the project list.
Fast forward to the latest report from Urban Systems presented to council at its Committee of the Whole meeting on November 25th and we see how it has become possible for the “bad news” delivered at the October workshop to be transformed into “not so bad news.”
Essentially there are four different measures enabling such a transition, with the merits of each being linked to whatever underlying philosophy we happen to hold about the importance and value of growth and development.
In the initial Urban Systems analysis, the program of capital works thought to be necessary over the next 20 years included everything from projects necessary for expansion to occur, asset maintenance and renewal projects, and upgrades it would be nice to have, such as some sidewalks.
So, the first step to reducing DCCs is to examine the project list and take out projects that would not be needed in the 20 year plan because they can be deferred or abandoned. For the cuts now recommended, including elimination of a multi-use pathway on Princeton, that exercise yields a $48.8 million saving.
The next cost reduction step
The third measure is to reduce the currently applied contingency amounts. Due to market volatility, unexpected conditions, and the difficulty of long term forecasting, these were set at 50%. For projects likely to start in the early part of the 20-year plan, the contingency amount is now planned to be at 30%, yielding a further unspecified saving.
The fourth and final cost reduction adjustment comes from increasing the so called “municipal assist” level, meaning in effect increasing the district’s share of costs and reducing those of the developer. While the report does not reveal the exact level of benefit this provides to developers, the result is that for water transmission and water treatment, the assist factor can increase to 33%, and for fire services to 50%.
In summary, these changes mean that the previously identified 20-year capital budget for roads, water, sewers, parks and fire hall will be scaled back from
approximately $185 million to $83.3 million. It also means that while $36.3 million of that amount can be recovered from developers, the remaining $46.9 million must be found by the district through taxation and grants.
For a developer this means a 55-63% reduction in the previously calculated DCC rates. For example, instead of the DCCs payable for a single family home being $80,862 as originally recommended, with all four approaches being implemented, the cost will be reduced to $36,440.
As developers would be quick to point out, that new DCC rate does not consider the DCCs charged by the Regional District ($4,787 for that single family home) or for that same project: the updated community
amenity charges levied by the district to fund growth-related expansion of social and recreation and cultural services--$3,316. Overall, however, the result is one that might, as the mayor had suggested, place Peachland in the middle of the Okanagan pack.
But what of the recalculated load that the municipality will be required to bear? In comparison to what it might have been (that a $6 million per annum contribution to our reserves every year for the next 20 years) that amount is now “only” $2.34 million per year for 20 years.
Provincial government approval is needed to implement a new DCC bylaw. That approval will be sought after the next procedural step-- a period of public and stakeholders consultation.

Volunteer hands distribute nutritious food in Peachland
Angels walk amongst us. I spent a morning interviewing one named Judy Bedford. As a recipient of the King Charles Coronation Medal for Community Service, a previous winner of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, a two time recipient of the Citizen of the Year, along with an astonishing 41 years of volunteer service with the Peachland Food Bank, Judy is extraordinary.
I knew before meeting her, I was meeting someone inspirational. What I was not prepared for was the overwhelming sense of warmth, generosity and caring that envelops you when in Judy’s presence.
I found myself hanging on her every word. I believe Judy has discovered one of the true secrets to happiness: service to others. When I mention, “I admire the work you are doing,” I note her gentle correction by replying in plural. She does not say “me or I”, she says “we and us”.
It’s clear Judy wants it known, the Peachland Food Bank is a team effort. She also warmly points out that it is not “work” but a “blessing.”
Her smile is a mile wide when she adds, “I get to be part of caring for our neighbours and friends. Why would I ever want
HOMETOWN HEART
to stop?” I can see these are not just words; Judy beams with a rare sense of joy and peace.
My eyes well up when a volunteer arrives to excitedly show Judy a pair of new boots she has purchased with her own money for a recipient who comes without winter footwear.
This same volunteer cooks 50 meals a week, out of her own expense, for those who arrive hungry. Twenty minutes later, another woman (who was once a recipient and is now a donor) enters to drop off a bag of freshly made muffins.
I ask Judy how many residents of Peachland they serve. She answers, 350 (up from 241 last year) with 950 visits a month (up from 870).
The need is great. Though most food banks only open once a month, Peachland’s volunteers ensure they are open every Friday from 12:30 - 2:30 as well
PENICH, STEPHEN JOHN
~ 1956 – 2025~
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of STEPHEN JOHN PENICH on November 17th, 2025, at age 69.
He will be deeply missed by his partner, Nancy; his three sons, Jesse (Kristy), Jordon (Joanna), and Dalton (Emma); his siblings: Mike (Christine), Danny (Grace), Barb (Chuck) all of Bothwell, Ontario and Shelly (Roy) of Powell River, BC; and many cherished grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Born in Chatham and raised in Bothwell, Steve built a proud legacy in the Okanagan with his wife Cathy and young family through hard work, family dedication, and his business, Superior Excavating. He loved the outdoors, time at Silver Lake, and helping others. Steve’s generosity, spirit, and love for family touched all who knew him.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, November 29th, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Silver Lake Lodge in Peachland, BC.

as the second Saturday of each month from 9:00 - 11:30 am.
When asked what they need, she shares that though every donation is welcome, they are in need of condiments -- ketchup and mayonnaise especially. They would also love pancake mix and syrup for their 100 Christmas baskets given out by December 19-22nd.
Toiletries such as shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, soap, razors, chapstick and moisturizer are always in demand.
For Christmas: they most need gifts for boys ages 9-13
(such as Lego) and gift cards for teens at places such as Walmart and Superstore. So if you are able, join this labour of love, give what you can, and feel the joy it brings you as well.
