SUBSIDIZED HOUSING
Sheltering in Place
The rent-controlled seniors residences downtown are meeting a housing need Peachland didn’t know it had
By John McDonalD Staff RepoRteR
Peachland isn’t usually the first place that comes to mind when it comes to homelessness in the Okanagan – it might even be the last.
No one pushes junk-filled shopping carts down Beach Avenue. No tent encampments lurk in the side streets and no groups of people wait around the entrance to a homeless shelter.
In fact, no homeless shelter exists in Peachland, but that doesn’t mean the housing crisis affecting many communities in British Columbia has not touched the district and one of the most visible signs of that are the pair of rent-controlled seniors residences hugging the edge of downtown just off Highway 97, one of which is half-built.
Jodie Brennan has been
managing the first building since it was opened in 2019.
“There have for sure been a few tenants who were one hundred percent homeless before they moved in,” she says. “Some were living in their cars or on a friend’s couch.”
Even those who were living in an extra bedroom of a family member did not necessarily enjoy an ideal housing situation, Brennan adds.
“As much as it’s lovely to have mum and dad living with them, it takes away from everyone’s privacy,” she says. “And mum and dad very often would prefer their own space.”
Others may have found their own space but were so constrained by astronomical rent they were essentially held captive by their own homes.

Big chunk of downtown Peachland is up for sale
By John McDonalD Staff RepoRteR
Peachland’s largest downtown land-owner has listed his holdings for sale despite the fact that potential increases in density and building height recommended by the downtown revitalization task force could eventually increase the value of his holdings.
But Steve Allison says the decision to sell is not based on the likelihood of the current District of Peachland council rejecting the recommendations but rather the fact that he is getting on in years.
“My wife and I decided that a project of this scope and importance in revitalizing Peachland’s downtown core requires more time than we can continue to devote to it,” Allison said in an interview. “We want to see it happen and it feels like the best way to make it happen is to pass the torch to someone with fresh energy and fresh legs.”
While Allison might not be widely known to Peachlanders, he is well known to city councillors old and new, having pushed unsuccessfully for similar density and height increases since the Charette report came out in 2011. It recommended some changes to zoning and land use regulations as well as developer incentives while also advocating for measures to retain Peachland’s small town charm but was never acted upon.
Over the last 30 years, Allison and his wife have purchased wellknown properties such as the Edgewater Inn and lower-profile properties throughout the downtown core of Peachland.
“All I wanted to do was building something that would house all my staff in one building,” Allison said, describing himself as a businessman and not a developer. “The building I was going to build
in 2012 would have generated at least $1.5 million in extra taxes for Peachland coffers.”
The properties are now listed for sale as a land assembly totalling 65,000 square feet amongst 19 separate lots.
The lots are currently zoned C-2 which under existing regulations restricts them to a maximum of three stories with a residential density to match, something Allison says leaves no room for developers to make a profit, even more so with soaring land values and material costs.
“The argument against it that developers are all greedy. Well, those greedy developers aren’t here because they can’t make a dime here,” he said. “It breaks my heart to see the downtown wasting away. We haven’t had a new building built between First Street and Third Street in over 50 years and there’s the reason why.”
It’s a position echoed in at least some of the recommendations made by Urban Systems, a consultant hired by the District of Peachland to facilitate the Downtown Revitalization Implementation Strategy.
One of the primary recommendations in this latest plan was aligning zoning regulations with economic feasibility, which means
five-story building heights along Beach Avenue and up to seven stories on Waldo Way, along with corresponding increases in base density and incentives to developers in the form of reductions in development cost charges and property tax breaks.
At the committee of the whole meeting introducing the plan, several councillors immediately pushed back on the recommendations, with Councillor Terry Condon insisting that the Charette report from 2010 showed citizens weren’t necessarily interested in growth and would be loathe to accept larger buildings downtown.
For his part Allison said Peachland residents need to come to grips with the fact that without developing a larger commercial property
tax base, their own property taxes will inevitably rise at some point.
He said past councils have been hypocritical, pointing to the five-storey senior’s residences Fifth and Sixth Street where the district both donated use of the land and waived development cost charges. “No one seems to be complaining about that,” he added.
The listing price for his own properties is based on assessed value plus 30 per cent, he said, which pegs the value of downtown land at approximately $20 million an acre.
“No one is going to make that kind of money with two-level buildings. The ones they have now are soon going to turn from quaint to derelict and then you’ve got a bigger problem,” he said. “If you go for lower density, then you’re going to have these units that are worth several million dollars each. Does Peachland have the kind of absorption rate?”
Despite his past disagreements with council, Allison said he’s not bitter and believes city council will eventually find a way to revitalize the downtown core, just not with his involvement and not without at least some changes beyond what some of them would like to see. “We love Peachland and we aren’t going anywhere and I wish them the best of luck,” he added. ••

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Instead of towers, lets create a theme to revitalize downtown
To the editor:
I am writing to share my thoughts on the ongoing discussions about Peachland’s downtown revitalization.
As someone who deeply cherishes our town’s charm, I believe we have a wonderful opportunity to create a vision that not only modernizes our downtown but also celebrates Peachland’s unique character and history.
Rather than pursuing high-density development and towering structures, I propose we consider a themed downtown concept, similar to the picturesque transformation seen
in Leavenworth, Washington. Leavenworth has successfully blended tourism with community pride by creating a Bavarian-themed village that attracts visitors from far and wide while preserving its small-town essence.
For Peachland, we could embrace a theme that reflects our own identity – perhaps a lakeside village celebrating our connection to Okanagan Lake, or a wine country retreat that showcases the region’s rich viticulture.
Architectural guidelines could ensure new buildings align with this theme, incorporating rustic wood accents, stone facades, and thoughtful signage.
A central plaza for events, specialty shops, and themed festivals could create a vibrant and inviting hub for both residents and tourists. This approach also allows us to
focus on sustainability by fostering pedestrian-friendly streets, bike lanes, and eco-conscious designs. We can modernize thoughtfully without losing the soul of what makes Peachland special.
I would like council and our community to consider this vision as part of the revitalization process.
By engaging residents and celebrating Peachland’s unique identity, we can create a downtown that we can all take pride in – place that balances progress with preservation.
Thank you for the opportunity to share my perspective. I look forward to seeing how our collective vision shapes the future of our beautiful town.
Archie Luccisano, Peachland
Why is Peachland blocking badly needed tourist accommodation?
To the editor:
In a year when Peachland could benefit greatly from a potential influx of tourists who are canceling U.S. travel plans in favour of staying in Canada amid the ongoing trade dispute, the District of Peachland is digging in their heels regarding the licensing of short-term vacation rentals.
Remember we have no hotels here. The tourists who come to Peachland stay in short-term vacation rentals and spend their money in town and the surrounding area, supporting the local restaurants, shops, golf courses, wineries, etc.
We have hosted wonderful guests from across Canada and overseas. We personally vet our guests to make sure they are suitable to our suite and do not disrupt our quiet neighbourhood (no partiers, kids or pets
allowed). As short-term rental hosts, we are astonished at the efforts of the district to essentially shut down the supply of tourist accommodation by imposing unreasonable and costly expectations on homeowners who have short-term rental suites.
To be very clear, I’m not talking about suites with material safety issues or in disrepair. I am curious if local business owners are aware how difficult it is to get a business licence for a short-term rental, now that the B.C. government is requiring AirBnb, Vrbo, etc, to delist short-term rentals if they do not register their suite and add the registration number to their listing by May 1, 2025. Not all cities and towns first require a business license to obtain provincial registration of short-term rental suites but Peachland does. Why this is a requirement is unclear but that’s fine and we, as hosts, are willing to jump through the hoops (including doing minor adjustments to our suite) to get a business licence. But the district has come back to us with unreasonable requests that are incredibly costly, some of which stem back to when the house was built decades ago but do not represent any material hazard or deficiency.
As future retirees, we have no desire to live in a town that lacks vibrancy, a forward-thinking council and openness to ways to improve the town’s resiliency. It’s interesting that council is discussing the revitalization of Peachland downtown while simultaneously shutting down the supply of tourist accommodations. I imagine there will be some who support this rigidity because they don’t want to see change or progress in Peachland, but this is a very effective way to lead Peachland on a long-term path to irrelevance in the Okanagan Valley.

Fielding needs to wake up to new reality
To the editor:
I read Keith Fielding’s recent editorial with a mix of sadness and pity. Not because I disagree, but because he seems wilfully blind to the tectonic shift happening around him.
For over 150 years, we’ve flip-flopped between two wings of the same tired leftist machine. That era is over.
Trump isn’t a cartoon — he’s a reckoning. Woke and DEI are dead. The left have been neutered.
A new North American deal is emerging. The sooner people accept it, the sooner they’ll reclaim their lives.

Truth of resurrection is on display every day
Easter Sunday thousands in Christian Churches throughout the world will gather and ponder the ancient story where a huge bolder has been rolled away from the tomb where Jesus was laid.
To the astonishment of the onlookers, the tomb is empty, except for a few bits of clothing. Angels are there and speak to Jesus’ closest friends, “He is not hear, he has risen”.
A short time after the empty tomb experience, Jesus appears to his disciples who are huddled away behind locked doors in fear of the Jews.
According to gospel accounts, Jesus appears several times after his death.
What are we to conclude from these infamous gospel accounts? Are they real or imaginary? Is Jesus’ resurrection a foolish story for the naive?
Does my faith hinge on whether or not I believe this event to be true?
The resurrection is a topic I love to talk about.
When someone asks me “Is the resurrection true?,” I respond by saying absolutely, because I see it every day.
I don’t see a resurrected Jesus every day, but I do see the works of the miracle all the time.
We all do. We just might not recognize it as such.
Resurrection comes into our presence when an estranged family member is welcomed back into the fold.
It comes into the lives of the unhoused and hungry when they are provided shelter or a warm meal.
It is realized when the addicted are lifted from their despair. We see it when the outcast and shunned within our societies
GUEST COLUMN REVEREND IAN McLEAN
are welcomed as neighbours. When true and lasting reconciliation happens with our Indigenous Peoples, that is a resurrection event.
And when members of the LGBTQ2S+ community are embraced, that too is resurrection.
Whether or not Jesus rose after his crucifixion is not something one has to believe is factually true, in order that it be profoundly true.
It is my belief that this is the most important reality
in the Easter message.
In these times we are constantly being bombarded by a myriad of stressors.
Negativity predominates our every waking minute. It doesn’t have to be that way. We can help. We can help if we practice resurrection living.
Live like Jesus lived. Reach out to those that need a hand up. Practice random acts of kindness. Be open to opinions that might be contrary to your own.
Don’t be afraid to resist bad behaviour and call out bullying and abuse.
Treat the stranger as your equal.
More than anything, remember that you are precious and that your are loved. And be kind and gentle to others, and to yourself!
The Rev. Ian McLean leads the Peachland United Church.
EASTER MESSAGE
Use mindfulness to reduce the inevitable stresses of life
If you aren’t familiar with meditation and mindfulness, you will be hearing more and more in the coming years. Research on it’s efficacy for working with specific conditions is centered on many systems.
One of these is known as The Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction protocol by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn. He’s the author of Full Catastrophic Living. He defined mindfulness as paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, with non-judgemental awareness.
Kabat-Zinn devised this protocol in the 1980s and it’s been studied within the scientific and medical communities ever since.
MBSR is taught in many medical centres throughout the world as is Lovingkindness and Self Compassion meditation. These practices have also had
many efficacy studies including those by Dr. Kristin Neff and her colleagues at Stanford University.
So what are the benefits to this modality and why should you give it a try?
You may already be practicing it when you mindfully go for a walk, swim laps or wash dishes, prepare a meal, and vacuum the floor. It’s a state of mind and getting in the zone.
There is obviously a more structured and intentional way that you can practice meditation, and it doesn’t require that you sit in the classic yoga lotus seat that is stereotypical of meditation positions.
You can lay down, sit in a chair, float in a pool, or as I mentioned, walk. The environment doesn’t need to be inside or out, dark or light, quiet or noisy either.
In fact, as you become more skilled, you can be mindful even in the stressful moments. That’s the gift of learning to have more awareness.
Now for some of the benefits. Multiple studies show the benefits that mindfulness and meditation have for chronic pain, and especially back pain.
Cancer survivors with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, who practiced somatic yoga and meditation, gained
more flexibility and better balance as well as quality of life.
MBSR was used to treat women with depression who were diagnosed with fibromyalgia and it showed a marked difference in symptoms in comparison to the control group.
Studies done in 2019 for pa-
“ You may already be practicing it when you mindfully go for a walk, swim laps or wash dishes, prepare a meal and vacuum the floor. “
tients with depression stated that “yoga-based programs improved perceived stress, depression, mindfulness and self-compassion” when breathing, mindful movement and meditation were all combined.
Those with intrusive thoughts or anxiety also benefited from MBSR in clinical implications.
The mindfulness training was said to support those who have anxiety disordered thinking with “a set of tools for achieving long term non pharmacological self-regulation and self-control,”
and as a cost-effective treatment.
Stress, insomnia, neurological disorders like Parkinson’s, trauma and PTSD were also studied and continue to be studied as are more physiological conditions like arthritis and heart disease. Mindfulness and meditation are ancient system’s and not new.
They are, however, resurfacing now and becoming a mainstream modality with many healing benefits.
It does go without saying that if you do wish to explore more structured meditative practices to seek out a professional trained meditation teacher as this isn’t to replace medical advice. Some techniques can be contraindicated for certain psychological and physiological medical conditions.
If you’re curious, try this. Have a seat and be still. Begin to notice your breath coming in and out of your nose without trying to control it. Notice the the temperature, texture, any smells that you pick up on. Try this for 10 to 20 breaths, and there you go – you’re meditating.

“We’ve found situations where people were paying 80 per cent of their gross income on shelter and bills,” Brennan says. “At the end of the month, they had no more resources and were accessing foodbanks as a way to survive.”
She has often witnessed an incredible change in people who have secured on of the 73 one- or two-bedroom units.
“When you get a rental like this where you’re paying no more than 30 per cent of your annual income, it leaves you with a little bit extra to enjoy life,” says Brennan. “It makes a huge difference to your mental health.”
Beyond the easing of often intense financial pressure, living in the building gives access to other people and social connections that you won’t find living in a basement suite or even a market rental building on your own, says long-time tenant Wendy Hansen, who lives in a one-bedroom unit with her dog Ellie.
“I absolutely love it,” Hansen says. “The nicest thing I have found is the sense of community that has built up over time. You can have a wonderful life here.”
Hansen is on the building’s social committee, which holds events every month, and also leads
a fitness class. “We have a painting class, a non-alcoholic happy hour, bingo — you name it and it’s here, all within the building,” she says.
Hansen says tenants in the building range in age from the 50s to the 90s and come from all walks of life, some unexpectedly needing rental accommodation relatively late in life.
“I hadn’t rented in 30 years but circumstances change which is why we need places like this,” she adds.
To be clear, while the tenants are all seniors, the Residences
on Sixth as the first building is known, is not assisted living or long-term care and no medical personnel are onsite. While rents are controlled, tenancy is not guaranteed and can be ended for violations of the tenancy agreement.
There are also limits on income and assets which are tied to a formulas devised by the federal Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and B.C. Housing. (See table)
Tenants must also have a connection of sorts to Peachland
— Hansen lived here with her young family in the ‘90s — although proximity to homelessness is the primary criteria for B.C. Housing which partnered with the Peachland Seniors Support Society and the District of Peachland to make the first building a reality.
The partners also came together to develop the second building which is halfway through construction right beside the first building and is due for occupancy in the spring of 2026.
The second building mirrors the first with 12 two-bedroom units, 46 one-bedroom units and 15 one-bedroom accessible units for tenants with mobility issues.
Would-be tenants must fill out a detailed application which is vetted by B.C. Housing and CMHC. There is a wait list for the first building and applications for the new Residences on Fifth will not be accepted until July 1, 2025.
Online applications can be made at bchousing.org/housing-assistance/rental-housing/ how-to-apply or paper applications can be picked up at 4445-6th St. and be submitted in person or mailed to #101 4555 Kingsway Ave, Burnaby, B.C. V5H 4V8.
Existing applicants can add the Residences on 5th to their profile by calling 1-800-257-7756 using the building code DUQ. ••

Peachland is home to the premier Okanagan Zipline park – one of Canada’s highest at 381 feet, with six lines traversing the stunning Deep Creek Gorge. It is also the Okanagan’s longest and fastest zipline.
The 2025 season opens April 18, ready to provide safe, fun-filled adventure for you, your family (four years and up) and friends.
Also available on-site, no extra charge, is a high-value ZipZone Adventure Park, including a Ninja course, DynaClimb climbing wall, family games area, Puzzlearium (games to drive you nuts!), and more.
But the height of adventure is the ZipZone itself. You will always be in the hands of an experienced guide, whether you choose two, four, or the full six lines to traverse. For all six, allow about 2.5 hours (one hour for two lines); many also spend about an hour in the
adventure park. ZipZone is ranked #1 by Trip Advisor (five stars) for customer satisfaction and value.
This is the third year for current owners, Christine Einerson and her husband Bryan,
who took over in 2023 from the founder, Kevin Bennett.
He had opened the business 12 years before but decided to retire. Christine is an outdoor enthusiast and adventurer, as
well as the manager of ZipZone. She is passionate about outdoor survival and year-round camping.
Christine says, “Safety is paramount. Our most important safety feature is having well-trained guides.
”Every member of staff goes through extensive technical training and is backed up by an emergency management team.” Christine has taken zipline courses from the governing body of ziplines. Her background as a biomedical engineer serves her well.
Repeat business, local participation in parades, plus ZipZone’s reputation for safe, high adventure drives Christine’s business model. This year, she has initiated a partnership with Silver Lake Camp to operate ZipZone’s lowand high-ropes course both for their campers as well as for other groups that are interested in a team building or fun group challenge.
To book your ZipZone tour, go online to zipzone.ca, go in person to 5875 Brenda Mines Road or call (778) 721-0593.
