Urgent!
Help us Stop the 580 Commonage Development Proposal.
City Council will make an important decision on the 580 Commonage Proposal some time in early to mid-fall. We encourage you to consider action to deal with the repercussions, long into the future, from a BAD decision.
Some of Current Projects
Pollinator Pathway
Pollinators are finding it increasingly difficult to survive in our current landscape. This is due to things like pesticide use, monocrops, habitat destruction, development and less green space in general. Creating and protecting pesticide-free, natural, pollinator-friendly spaces can help them find paths through urban areas, help keep our food supply vigorous and make our community look more beautiful.
Alternatives to Plastic
Looking to cut down on plastic waste in your daily life? Making small, simple changes can have a big impact on the environment. From reusable containers to eco-friendly wraps, here are some practical alternatives that make it easy to reduce your reliance on single-use plastics.
Liquid Waste
Okanagan Lake is almost a closed lake, replenishing its water every 90 to 100 years.
Whatever is put into it does not go away but accumulates over this long period. Already Kelowna, West Kelowna, Peachland, Summerland and Penticton discharge treated sewage into the lake, adding millions of litres of effluent to the lake every DAY.
