    GALLERY 12391 PIXTON ROAD, LAKE COUNTRY | EXCLUSIVE DISCOVER KELOWNA’S REAL ESTATE COLDWELL BANKER JANE HOFFMAN REALTY A WORD FROM JANE The beginning of a new year always has me reflecting on the year that has just passed. Over the last 12 months, our world has changed so much. We’ve had to find new ways to do almost everything, from having business meetings to visiting with family and friends. Even though there have been challenges in adapting to a new way of life, I can’t help but feel inspired. While so much about our daily lives has changed, we’ve also prioritized what has always been most important to us. Almost every day, I am met with how people’s home-buying preferences have shifted with our changing times. Families are looking for spaces that let them spend more time together, outdoor areas that allow them to take in the Okanagan lifestyle from the comfort of their own property, and more green space for kids and pets. All of this gives me hope because spending time with loved ones in a home that is loved, and in this beautiful valley, is a great gift. I hope that in the new year you get to enjoy special spaces at home that bring you joy. Or perhaps your perfect home is waiting to be found…Whatever 2021 has in store I wish you and your family health and happy memories.

  • West Kelowna Transmission Project
    Welcome to the BC Hydro open house West Kelowna Transmission Project We’re planning for a new, secondary transmission line delivering clean, reliable power to the communities of West Kelowna and Peachland. The new transmission line will strengthen and reinforce the existing transmission network. We’re here to share the most recent project information and to gather your comments on what we know so far. We hope you’ll share your local knowledge of the project study area with us. WEST KELOWNA TRANSMISSION PROJECT OPEN HOUSE BCH18-305 Why it’s important Approximately 22,000 customers are served by the Westbank Substation and a single 138 kilovolt transmission line. We’ve prioritized the West Kelowna area as needing a redundant supply of power because of: ○ The large number of customers served by a single transmission line. ○ The challenge of restoring power on the existing transmission line resulting from its 80 kilometre length, remote location and rough terrain. ○ The risk of destructive forces like forest fires and landslides. In the meantime, we’ll continue to monitor and manage any risks to the existing transmission line. What’s redundant supply? Redundant supply means there is more than one source (for example, a transmission Iine) providing power to the community or “back-up” power. That way, if one source is taken out of service, the other can still supply the community with electricity. WEST KELOWNA TRANSMISSION PROJECT OPEN HOUSE BCH18-305 Our electricity system Generation Transmission Substations Distribution Electricity is generated Electricity is Voltage is reduced at Low voltage by BC Hydro and moved from where substations to provide electricity is provided independent power it’s produced to power suitable for use in to neighbourhoods producers.

  • Understanding Physical Address Geocoder Results March 21, 2014 Document Version 0.1
    Understanding Physical Address Geocoder Results March 21, 2014 Document Version 0.1 This document explains how to use the output of the Physical Address Geocoder to improve the quality of your addresses. The geocoder returns two quality indicators: address match score and location positional accuracy. Address match score reflects how well an input address matches an address in the geocoder’s reference list of addresses. Location positional accuracy reflects how well the geocoder knows the geographic position of a given address. 1. Matching geocoder input to output The online geocoder always shows you the input address as well as one or more result addresses. The batch geocoder results file doesn’t include input address. The fullAddress field in the results file is the standardized, corrected, and matched address, not the input address. To effectively analyse batch geocoder output, you need to open and view both input and results files at the same time. In each line of the results file there is a sequence number which represents the nth address in your input file. Remember to account for the first row being column definitions (e.g., sequence number 6091 is row 6092 in input file). If you pull up both files in MS Excel and turn on View.View Side by Side and Synchronous Scrolling, you can see both input and result addresses at the same time. 2. Address match score The geocoder determines the quality of an address match by computing a score between 0 and 100. The score is determined in two parts: match precision and match faults.

V1W 3Z4 Telephone: (250) 763-4918 Fax: (250) 763-0606 www.regionaldistrict.com www.facebook.com/regionaldistrict www.cordemergency.ca March 27, 2015 2015 - 2019 Financial Plan Approved The Regional Board has adopted the Five-Year Financial Plan for 2015 – 2019. The 2015 operating budget which includes Municipal Finance Authority financing totals just over $59.4- million compared with $61.1-million during 2014. The decrease is due in large part to the cost savings provided through the new 9-1-1 service contract and a reduction in costs through the participation in the Multi-Materials BC recycling program. The Regional District does not collect taxes directly. It requisitions funds from each local government on behalf of their residents and the Province which collects property taxes for Electoral Area residents. The Regional District provides more than 80 different services across the entire Central Okanagan. The actual tax rate varies from neighbourhood to neighbourhood and municipality, depending on the local services provided by the Regional District. The member municipalities of Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland and West Kelowna receive services such as Economic Development, Regional Parks, Dog Control, 9-1-1 and Regional Rescue. These services account for a relatively small share (5-6%) of the total tax bill for property owners in those municipalities. (see table below – Total Tax per House) The Regional District is also the local government for residents in the two electoral areas providing them with services such as Planning, four Paid-on-call fire departments and six water systems that connect almost 900 properties.
