<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">December 21, 2018<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Nearly a dozen Southeast Kelowna residents in the Crawford
Road area turned on their taps to clean drinking water this week. They’re part
of the first group to receive clean drinking water from the City utility as
part of the ongoing Kelowna Integrated Water project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Del Medico family was the first to have their water
changed over. City utility crews connected their property earlier this month,
and the family is thrilled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“The whole process has been awesome; we couldn’t be happier.
We can finally drink the water straight from the tap,” said John Del Medico.
“We waited a long time and now the water is perfect, ready to go.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Although these initial homes were connected mid-way through
the project, it will take some time before other Southeast Kelowna residents
are also connected to the new City water system.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“It’s a great feeling to see residents have access to clean
water,” said Patrick Aylard, Project Manager. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Although we could connect these
first few homes because they were so close to existing City utilities,
connecting other houses to the new system will take a bit longer."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It’s anticipated that other Southeast Kelowna residents will
be connected to City water in 2020, when construction of new water mains and
facilities is complete.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When asked what he would say to those Southeast Kelowna
residents still waiting to be connected to the new water system, Del Medico
added, “It’s well worth the wait. It’s funny, you always think we should have
clean water, but we didn’t, and now we do.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Substantial paving work has been completed on some of the
major project roads where new water mains have been installed. Work is now
underway to build a new water reservoir and pump station at 4075 Jean Road, as
well as complete upgrades to the Stellar and Lower Crawford pump stations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Construction of the Jean Road and Stellar Road facilities is
expected to be complete by the end of 2019.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Phase 1 of the Kelowna Integrated Water Project, an $86
million project funded by a $43.9 million provincial and federal grant, will
bring clean drinking water to more than 2,000 Southeast Kelowna households and
a sustainable water supply for agriculture in the South Mission. Expected to be
complete in 2020, this is the first phase of the Kelowna Integrated Water
Supply Plan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The author of the above letter is a retired employee of Greater Vernon Water (GVW) one of the major proponent of using Duteau Creek as a domestic water source. Here are a few items to counter his claims:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="white-space: pre;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The VID system was built for irrigation and it was very efficient for that purpose. It did not need any changes!</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The only change needed to be done was the construction of a dedicated domestic main connecting current Duteau domestic customers to Kalamalka Lake water. That would have provided total separation of the water systems. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As it is, there is virtually no separation: the same water is used for irrigation and domestic consumption as before except this water is a lot more expensive. WE DID NOT SOLVE THE SEPARATION PROBLEM! A farmer gets his irrigation water from the same pipe as he does his domestic water except for a huge cost differential. </span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All the money spent and planned to be spent at Duteau could have been used for the separation.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b style="font-style: italic;">Okanagan Lake was not needed for at least 40 years. However, infrastructure costs were estimated to be $35 million. </b>It is noteworthy that GVW was planning to apply for a 50,000 ML water license for Okanagan Lake. How does that go along with the writers arguments? </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A filtration plant is planned for the Mission Hill Water Treatment Plant (a grant has already been applied for). That would take care of seasonal variations in water quality. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Surprisingly however, the cost conscientious letter writer promoted the construction of a $2.6 million pipeline from Okanagan Lake to pump water to Goose Lake for irrigation purposes paid for by domestic customers and operated at the cost of domestic customers at an estimated annual cost of $160,000.</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #585858;">New pay-day loan and cheque cashing rules</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The Province is starting to tighten the rules to rein in payday-lending practices, and to protect people from excessive fees when cashing BC Employment and Assistance cheques.</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
For some time, British Columbia’s most financially vulnerable individuals have used non-traditional lenders and credit providers, who often impose high borrowing costs and debt loads on borrowers.</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“Today, we’re making changes to better protect British Columbians who use payday loans, and cash social assistance and disability assistance cheques,” said Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. “We’re also looking to make further changes to protect vulnerable consumers, who use other high-cost financial services in the province.”</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Limits on fees for cheque cashing, and high-cost loans, will go into effect on Sept. 1, 2018, as follows:</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Strengthen payday-loans protections:</span></div>
<ul style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Lowering the maximum fee to $15 from $17, for every $100 borrowed, matching the lowest rate in Canada.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Extending the payday-loan agreement cancellation period, so a payday-loan borrower now has two full business days to cancel the loan without penalty.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Prohibiting payday lenders from requiring, requesting or accepting consent from a borrower, to use or disclose their personal information for anything other than for arranging or providing a payday loan.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Clarifying payday lenders’ data-reporting timelines. The receipt of more timely data will help Consumer Protection BC to focus its education and compliance efforts, and the data will help to inform government about trends and changes in the industry.</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Limit fees for cashing social and disability assistance cheques:</span></div>
<ul style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Capping the fee for cashing a provincial social assistance or disability cheque at $2, plus 1% of the value of the cheque, up to a maximum fee of $10. Note: this change applies to anyone in B.C. who cashes cheques.</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Starting June 25, 2018, on the government’s website, the ministry is providing practical advice and information to all British Columbians, to help them make informed choices about borrowing money, and using expensive alternative financial services, like cheque-cashing services.</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“Our government is working to provide opportunities to help lift people out of poverty,” said Shane Simpson, Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction. “Today’s announcement will ensure people, who are receiving income and disability assistance, and who rely on these services, are protected from unscrupulous practices, and have more money left in their pocket after they cash their cheque.”</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
These changes are part of government’s overall Consumer Financial Protection Action Plan led by Farnworth. By reducing costs to consumers, and introducing additional consumer protections, the action plan supports the Province’s goal of reducing poverty, and helps make life more affordable.</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Although the actions are intended to protect the most-vulnerable consumers, the changes will benefit all British Columbians who use high-cost alternative financial services. Government will continue to consider taking steps to protect vulnerable consumers.</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“We’ve been regulating the payday-lending sector for almost a decade, and we have first-hand knowledge of how it works. British Columbians are borrowing an increasing amount of money from payday lenders, and our data shows that number is approaching $400 million a year,” said Rob Gialloreto, president and CEO, Consumer Protection BC. “We support efforts of this nature by the Province, that are designed to protect vulnerable consumers who use the services of any high-cost lender.”</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Advances in the protection of consumers, with more to come in the future on other high-cost alternative financial services, will strike a balance between industry and consumer needs as part of a well-regulated industry. Further research and work is underway in this policy area, including looking at other high-cost loans and cheque-cashing services, to determine what needs to be done to further strengthen consumer protections and affordability. </div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); box-sizing: border-box; color: #585858; font-family: MyriadProRegular, Calibri, Arial, "sans serif"; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
As part of its public education efforts, the Province has launched a new website called Borrowing Money. This website will provide people with information to consider before taking out a loan of any kind. The content on this website will allow anyone in B.C. to become informed and educated on various credit products and services, what rights borrowers have, and where to go for assistance.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DATE: August 28, 2018</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">MEDIA CONTACT: Tannis Nelson, Manager, Community Services</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Regional District Kicks off the Public Education Campaign for Greater Vernon Cultural Centre Referendum</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Regional District of North Okanagan has launched a two-month long informational campaign featuring over 20 public events and dozens of presentations regarding the proposed Greater Vernon Cultural Centre that will be going to referendum with the 2018 local general elections.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On October 20, 2018, Greater Vernon voters will be asked to decide whether they support borrowing up to $25 million for the purpose of constructing a new multi-purpose cultural centre in downtown Vernon. The referendum will be held with the upcoming general local elections, and will determine whether the community can move forward with grant applications and fundraising to generate the additional $15 million required to complete this $40 million project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In order to provide residents with the opportunity to learn more about the project, the Regional District has developed a website for the project, which can be found at <a href="http://www.gvculturalcentre.ca%2C/">www.gvculturalcentre.ca,</a> as well as print and electronic materials that can be used to help promote the vote. In addition to providing information that people can review on their own, the Regional District will be making presentations and holding open houses in order to be available to speak with residents and answer any questions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“It is essential that people are given a variety of opportunities to learn about this project so that they are able to make an informed vote,” said Juliette Cunningham, Chair of the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee. “This is an important project that has been brought forward as a result of public engagement and years of planning, and people should have the ability to learn about that process and the project itself prior to October 20.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first information open house will be held at the Village Green Centre mall on Saturday, September 1, 2018, where Regional District staff and community volunteers will be available to answer questions and provide information to mall visitors and back-to-school shoppers. Additional open houses and information sessions will be held:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Village Green Centre mall - September 11, 2018 and October 6, 2018</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Vernon Farmer’s Markets throughout September and October</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• Vernon Vipers games (Kal Tire Place) - October 6, 2018 and October 10, 2018.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Residents are encouraged to check the project website for additional information opportunities that may be scheduled, at <a href="http://www.gvculturalcentre.ca./">www.gvculturalcentre.ca.</a></span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Looking back at my last post I realize that I have not updated my blog since March. For this I apologize to my readers! My excuse is that I have had a number of unfortunate deaths of close friends and I was unable to collect my thoughts well enough to put them into writing. My great friend's, City Councillor Bob Spiers, death was a crushing blow to my inspiration. His encouragement and support in my efforts to try improving the Greater Vernon Master Water Plan. Rest in peace, Bob, mu good Buddy!</b></span></div>
