Osoyoos council will not be funding a September tournament that is currently in its planning stages, as they have turned down Desert Pickleball’s request to waive just over $2,000 in court fees.
A public hearing on the application to amend Osoyoos’ Official Community Plan (OCP) designation and zoning for a residential development at 7808 Spartan Drive drew an unusual degree of engagement on May 31 and saw Council defer a decision by two weeks.
The contract for the construction of Osoyoos’ Legion Beach washroom and multi-use trail has been awarded to Mass Construction Ltd in the amount of $ 648,520, plus applicable taxes.
While the Emergencies Act is clearly focused on Ottawa and significant border points such as Windsor (to ensure it remains open), Coutts Alberta (where a cache of weapons and ammunition resulted in arrests), and Surrey here in B.C., it’s not clear what the impact if any, will be for protests at smaller border crossings such as Osoyoos.
The Town of Osoyoos is set to undertake a $650,000 water capital project after it was discovered that two check valves on the town’s main 340 South Reservoir are leaking and could fail at any time.
In a marathon Osoyoos council session lasting nearly three hours, the $3.557 million Legion Beach project sparked the most excitement with substantial debate around the cost and nature of the funding.
