Ongoing concerns with how the Central Okanagan香蕉视频直播檚 elected officials are dealing with live-in park contractors has prompted another serving of social activism.
Nancy Holmes has organized the second instalment of the Burbridge Dinner, a potluck dinner named after Jim and Joan Burbridge who helped save Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 Woodhaven Nature Conservancy in the early 1970s and who stewarded the park over the next 30 years.
香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 a lot of frustration around what council in Kelowna and the Central Okangan Regional District are doing,香蕉视频直播 said Holmes.
香蕉视频直播淧eople feel like they香蕉视频直播檙e not listening to legitimate concerns and responding appropriately 香蕉视频直播 that was the message that I took away from the last Burbridge dinner.香蕉视频直播
That dinner was held in Kelowna and attracted 17 participants who talked about their plans to raise attention for live-in park contractors. It香蕉视频直播檚 an issue they feel will cause wide ranging issues in the years ahead, so they intend to keep working toward a solution at the Lake Country dinner planned for Wednesday.
香蕉视频直播淧eople feel there香蕉视频直播檚 a serious cut in services here,香蕉视频直播 said Holmes.
香蕉视频直播淚 had a call from a neighbour who saw people trampling through an un-gated back entrance to Woodhaven. I said 香蕉视频直播榗all the bylaw officer now.香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈
They then looked online and couldn香蕉视频直播檛 find a phone number.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 really, really not good,香蕉视频直播 said Holmes, adding that because Woodhaven has been closed down for the season not even the contracted Commissionaires are driving by.
Those who would like to attend are asked to bring a potluck dish that could feed four or five people.
If you can donate anything to help cover the rental of the hall, that would be most welcome, but this is not essential. RSVP to to nancyholmes.nh@gmail.com
The event will be held Wednesday, February 22, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at Okanagan Centre Hall, 11099 Maddock Ave.
