The federal and provincial governments have pledged $8 million towards the construction of passing lanes on Hwy. 97 just north of Osoyoos.

Almost 750 people received their H1N1 vaccinations at a mass public health clinic in Osoyoos on Nov. 20.
“At about 7:30 p.m., which was half-an-hour before (the) clinic was scheduled to close, the nurses did run out of vaccine, so anyone left without being vaccinated was asked to return either to the Saturday clinic in Penticton, if they were able, or to a future clinic in the area,” said Lannea Parfitt, public health communications officer for Interior Health.

“We’d prefer this didn’t happen at all,” said Mark McKenney, president of the Osoyoos Lake Water Quality Society (OLWQS), about the Town’s proposal to build a marina in Osoyoos Lake, immediately north of the Lake Osoyoos Sailing Club.
But the OLWQS can’t fight development entirely, admits McKenney, so instead the society is asking the Town to take some steps to minimize the dock’s impact on the lake.
