The Town of Osoyoos has listed “slow economic growth, increasing demands for services for residents, the downloading of service responsibilities from other levels of government, the need to replace some Osoyoos facilities, and the requirements of being an official B.C. resort municipality” as the reasons behind a pending review of the Town’s operations and structures.
Osoyoos council ordered an independent evaluation of the Town’s operations on Sept. 20 and a request-for-proposals process seeking submissions from companies or consultants interested in carrying out the review closed on Oct. 15.

Those trying to recall Boundary-Similkameen’s MLA John Slater are still planning to launch the recall campaign as soon as possible, but it’s now starting to look like they won’t get it underway until next spring.

Nearly two-and-a-half years after firing a shotgun point-blank at a dog’s face, 68-year-old George Cimbala of Osoyoos was found guilty of injuring an animal in Penticton provincial court.
Cimbala was convicted by Judge Anne Wallace on Oct. 5 on one count of injuring or endangering an animal in relation to a shooting incident on Cimbala’s 160th Avenue property in the spring of 2008.
