Post Meeting Blog (Pre A.G.M.)

Greetings Again,

To start this blog we will respond to the comment from February's blog.  Specifically, the inquiry to water supply and the rezoning of properties on (7961) Silver Star Road. We believe the following link/pdf file will address most questions.

 The Annual General Meeting has been scheduled for Monday, Apr. 20th, 2015 at the Best Western Vernon Lodge (7 P.M. - 9 P.M. in the Okanagan Room.)  New memberships and/or renewals will be $5.00, guests are welcome.  Agenda topics will be posted before the meeting on the Morning Star Boxes (near the mailboxes) in Regional Areas "B" & "C".  As well, posted here once finalized.

Recently in the Morning Star publication there was a proposal to divide Regional District Area "B" basically in half.  One half being still R.D.N.O. while the other section would be in the Shuswap constituency.  The initial article wasn't as informative and the more recent one that was in Apr. 3rd, 2015 publication.  The following link takes you to the article.

The following quote is quite succinct in our opinion...
Issues round this table could involve two MLAs from two political parties,” said Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director.  “I don’t think it makes any sense. The biggest consideration is what could happen at the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee. It seems complicated to have two MLAs carrying our message.” Also contained in the article is the public feedback stated as "Residents can review the commission’s preliminary recommendations and provide input online or by e-mail by May 26. Public hearings will also be held across B.C."  Suffice to say, if you want your opinion to be heard please participate in the input time frame as cited in the article.

 So this short blog will cover these three topics.  To conclude this entry, the directorship and members of the association wish everyone a Happy Easter
