Happy Saturday!
Black Press Mediaâs Josh Piercey has got the rundown of the top headlines from across the Okanagan this week.
It was a busy Saturday on Hudson Avenue where people gathered for the Salty Street Festival.
The downtown Salmon Arm road was closed for the May 14 family friendly event â a celebratory community kick-off to Sundayâs Salty Dog Enduro mountain bike racing event at the South Canoe trails.
The Street Fest included a wide range of activities and vendors, including the used bike swap, bike stunt demonstrations by the Trails Stars, food, music and the pie eating contest.
Plans to give Pentictonâs North Gateway a significant âfaceliftâ so the city could have its first neighbourhood where residents could live, work, shop and play all within a 15-minute radius may get approved as early as June 21.
After over a year of collecting community feedback regarding the potential transformation of the cityâs north end, the proposed redevelopment project was once again presented to council on May 17.
The âbold plan,â as described by the general manager of community services Anthony Haddad, hopes to add up to 2,250 new units within the area, as well as nearly 350 hotel rooms.
Not even the below-seasonal temperatures could stop thousands of British Columbians from coming to the Okanagan Fest of Ale in Penticton on Saturday, May 14.
The event welcomed 2,500 people at Okanagan Lake Park for its first-ever outdoor gathering, after taking a two-year hiatus amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nine unique food stands, 68 beer vendors, musical performances from Okanagan-based artists and several outdoor activities headlined the day by the lake.
An Osoyoos coupleâs trip through the legal system has ended with almost $800,000 awarded to the wife for a 2018 rear-ender.
After a trial in Âé¶čAVâs courts on April 12â14 and 19â22, 2022, Justice Gordon Weatherill issued his judgement in favour of Catherine Lena Sandhu, 37, on May 11 over her husband Charanpal Singh Sandhu, 50.
Catherine met Charanpal in 2004 and moved to Osoyoos in 2006, becoming legally married in 2009. The couple are still married according the published judgement.
