LAKE COUNTRY — Major improvements are in the works for the Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour Regional Park’s harbour breakwater with $150,000 in funding from the federal government.
“The wooden breakwater at the Regional Park located in Lake Country has been in place since the 1970’s and needs a major overhaul,” said Regional District of Central Okanagan Chair Robert Hobson.

“We welcome this critical infrastructure funding from the federal government to help partially replace the most seriously deteriorating portions of the north breakwater, which is an important asset for many boaters on Okanagan Lake.”
With the funding the RDCO plans to reconstruct sections of the breakwater using new steel piles and concrete panels.
Construction is slated to start this fall and wrap up by the end of 2013.
The RDCO is also hoping to continue to upgrade other sections of the breakwater but that is dependent on future funding.
