Not everyone is thrilled with the idea of the North Westside going it alone.

Some residents are questioning a move by director Wayne Carson and the North Westside Communities Association to have a governance study and possibly move towards municipal status.

香蕉视频直播淣ot everyone is as interested in changing things,香蕉视频直播� said Lynne Findlay, a resident of the North Westside for eight years.

香蕉视频直播淧eople have said, 香蕉视频直播業t will cost us money and if it costs money, I香蕉视频直播檓 not interested.香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈��

Many North Westside residents have indicated that current structure doesn香蕉视频直播檛 represent their needs because the area is quite a ways from the Regional District of Central Okanagan office in Kelowna and service costs are growing.

A 700-name petition calling for a study was presented to RDCO.

香蕉视频直播淪omebody brought the petition to our home but even then, we were comfortable with the regional district as it香蕉视频直播檚 set up at this point,香蕉视频直播� said Findlay, adding that parks are maintained, the transfer station runs well and the water system needs to be a focus.

香蕉视频直播淭here needs to be a positive review on our community. Everything I see is negative.香蕉视频直播�

Currently, North Westside, with a population of 1,000 to 1,500, has one director at the 12-member RDCO board table.

香蕉视频直播淵ou can always ask questions but you may not get the answer you want,香蕉视频直播� said Findlay.

Findlay wants Carson and the communities association to slow down on the governance issue and consult with residents.

香蕉视频直播淭here should be another way to canvas the community to see if there are enough of us who truly want a change,香蕉视频直播� she said.

Carson says residents with concerns about a governance change need to come forward.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檇 like to hear from everyone. Everyone has a right to have a say,香蕉视频直播� he said.

However, Carson says he and the communities association have actively sought input from residents, including at public meetings.

香蕉视频直播淭he petition showed overwhelming support for a study,香蕉视频直播� he said.

香蕉视频直播淲e want to find what香蕉视频直播檚 best for the majority of the residents.香蕉视频直播�

Carson also points out that there is no guarantee that governance will change.
