The Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) has decried the potential cutting of funding by the federal government which supports invasive mussel inspections in BC calling it “unacceptable and unjustifiable”.
The Trail of the Okanagans is named for the traditional trading route of the Syilx people that spanned the Okanagan Valley. This 6,000-year-old trail connected Syilx communities, important cultural locations and provided a ribbon of trade connecting the people of the Columbia River system to the people of the Fraser River.
