The Save Sickle Point Committee is vowing to raise the money to reduce the burden on taxpayers.

On Wednesday night, Jan. 13, the RDOS will be holding an electronic town hall to provide information about its public loan request.

Information technology consultants have recommended that the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen completely rebuild its technical infrastructure.

The Sickle point sale falling through is good news for Kaleden residents who are hoping the land can be purchased for a park.

The RDOS has directed staff to go to Kaleden taxpayers and ask their permission to borrow up to $3.5 million for the purchase of the private land.

Supporters see it as a chance to maintain the Naramata Centre Beach, which is currently owned by a charity, for future generations.

All scheduled routes in the region will be available all day free of charge.

The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen rescinded an evacuation order for the majority of the 319 properties in the Heritage Hills subdivision north of Okanagan Falls.

On Tuesday morning, the Christie Mountain wildfire was listed at 2,035 hectares, the same size it was on Saturday afternoon.

The 2,035-hectare blaze north of Okanagan Falls has been classified as a smoldering surface fire, according to officials.
