Proposed NP Reserve – squaring the lines

Town of Osoyoos council votes to ask Parks Canada to remove property within the municipality from the Proposed NP Reserve.

Town of Osoyoos council has invited Sarah Boyle from Parks Canada to appear soon to give locals an update on the Proposed NP Reserve.

  • Hatch marks on pix above shows where the NP Reserve is planning to acquire control – this land south and west of Dividend Ridge
  • The ‘working boundary’ for the federal park reserve includes lands within the Town boundary that have been designated for future development.
  • Given the limited land base within the Town, Council may
    want to consider making a recommendation to Parks Canada to consider amending the ‘working boundary’ for the national park reserve to exclude lands within the jurisdictional boundary of the Town of Osoyoos.
