How will West Kelowna move in the future? 🚶‍♀️🚲🚌🚗

West Kelowna City Council has adopted the updated Transportation Master Plan, a long-range roadmap that will help guide transportation investments and improvements over the next 20+ years.

The plan supports:
✅ Safer streets
✅ Better walking and cycling connections
✅ Improved transportation options
✅ A more connected community

Developed through technical studies, community input and collaboration with partners, the Transportation Master Plan helps ensure that as West Kelowna grows, the community will have safer travel, more transportation choices and stronger connections between neighbourhoods, businesses and services.

We Need Affordable Rental Housing. (A lot more of it.)

We also need you.

The Comox Valley Regional District is recruiting Board members for the newly created Comox Valley Housing Authority. If you’ve got experience in housing, finance or law, we want to hear from you.

Help drive non-market rental housing forward—with clarity, accountability, and maybe a little
impatience. Because waiting isn’t a strategy.

Application deadline: June 29, 2026
