North Westside residents delve into Central Okanagan governance, services
“The North Westside, and in other places that undertake governance and services studies, the issues that we see coming forward tend to be long-term issues, longstanding issues,” Neilson told Global News.Some of the long-term issues may involve the handling of natural disasters, such as wildfires.
“The past three to five years, with the natural disasters that have occurred, that may focus people’s attention on wanting to find different ways to govern themselves and wanting to find different ways, different types of service arrangements,” Neilson said. While there has been a roughly 25-per cent increase in population in the area since the last census, Neilson said the numbers and tax base aren’t enough to take it a step further to consider incorporation.“I think if they are looking for options…that would be changes to the structure,” he said. “I think they would be more looking at how do we want to look at possibly amending the regional district boundaries to look at being part of a different regional district.
