Tom Siddon, Area D Director:

We have received the $50,000 to get this study underway. Initial meetings were held earlier this week with about 40 residents who are leaders in 6 – 8‎ representative groups in Area ‘D’ (such as the APC, Fire Depts and Irrigation Districts, small business, major land owners and employers, etc. )

This study of governance options for the future will start by looking at all of Area ‘D’.‎ The study will be guided by a small citizens study committee*  guided by Terms of Reference provided by the Ministry. The study committee will work with RDOS to prepare a proposal call and select a consultant with the right skill set for this project.

There are no pre-conceived biases for this study, and the question of incorporation for Okanagan Falls IS NOT on the table at this time.
