The Town of Osoyoos is cleaning up the streets – a few signs and unlicensed vehicles at a time.
“The new Traffic Bylaw prohibits anyone from erecting or placing any sign, sign board, advertisement, advertising device on any street or arterial highway or right-of-way unless they receive written permission from the Town or in the case of arterial highway or right-of-way, the Ministry of Transportation,” said Osoyoos’s director of corporate services, Janette Van Vianen.

“Not everybody has a family that gathers around the fire and sings Christmas carols,” said Dr. Mark Welch. “Some find this is the time of year they are most acutely alone.”
Welch is the manager of acute care for South Okanagan Mental Health and Addictions and he said there are many people who just don’t like Christmas all that much – and that is more normal than one might think.
