Okanagan apple growers, including those in Oliver and Osoyoos, will benefit from a $2.5 million funding boost, according to the BC government. The money over two years will support crop health, fruit production, apple marketing and skills training.
The Town of Oliver’s new municipal council was officially sworn in Monday night. The inaugural meeting saw Terry Schafer and incumbents Petra Veintimilla, Dave Mattes and Aimee Grice take their oath of office, along with Mayor Martin Johansen and water councillors Rick Machial and Pinder Dhaliwal.
An Oliver water councillor has expressed concern about water restrictions in a town where many yards are dying.
