Happy Saturday!
Black Press Mediaâs Josh Piercey has got the rundown of the top headlines from across the Okanagan this week.
Devastation, sadness and heartbreak are widespread following a fire that destroyed the guest wing of Quaaout Lodge in Skwlax, Secwépemc territory, in the Thompson-Nicola region.
On the shores of Little Shuswap Lake, about 45 kilometres northwest of Salmon Arm, Quaaout Lodge & Spa at Talking Rock Resort is described by its social media as the pride of the Little Shuswap Lake Band.
âBuilt to share the local history and culture of the Secwepemc people,â is another descriptor.
Brad DeMille is uncertain thereâll be home-grown sweet corn this summer.
The lingering wet weather and cool overnight temperatures have the DeMilleâs Farm Market operator concerned about this yearâs crop at the DeMilleâs farm, run by Bradâs father Rodger.
âWeâre really getting close to the go or not go line,â said DeMille, explaining corn typically needs a ground temperature of 15 C to germinate.
Revelstoke City Council has approved the development of a first-of-its-kind apartment building downtown, however, the building has caused concerns for a number of residents.
The apartment complex, to be located at 1219 Victoria Rd., includes underground parking with wiring for charging stations, bicycle storage, a rooftop garden and patio, and landscaping around the perimeter.
Council approved a variance to the zoning bylaw to let the building exceed the maximum allowed height of 10.5m to its proposed 18m height and approved to increase the maximum lot coverage from 50 per cent to 66 per cent. They also approved reducing the minimum of 36 off-street parking spaces to 24 spaces.
