What might be the final chapter in a two-and-a-half year saga revolving around a solar screen installed on a window of a home in the Casitas del Sol manufactured home community on 115th Street has closed.
Last December, the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal found that the Casitas del Sol strata corporation had discriminated against Mick Shannon, a retired train engineer who suffers from a type of lung disease known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), when it ordered him to remove a solar screen he had installed on a window at his home in 2008.

The owner of the Osoyoos Taxi service wants to sit down with representatives of the local hospitality industry to find ways to encourage people to patronize local pubs and restaurants.
Subag Singh said he feels new drinking and driving penalties introduced by the province in September have contributed to a decrease in business for his company.

The highway improvement project on Hwy. 97 north of Osoyoos will now include a two-kilometre hike-and-bike trail that will be ready for use by the summer.
The trail will be about 10 kilometres away from Osoyoos – connecting the north side of Road 22 and the south side of 204th Avenue.
