Consistent with the direction from the Board, staff are bringing forward additional information on the details of the proposed picnic shelter and additional relevant background information on the agreement between the RDNO and the OKLDCA.

Shelter Structure Okanagan Timber Frame Staff have also met with the OKLDCA on the location of the proposed shelter which is shown on Attachment “B”. Additional information on the form and character of the shelter is included in Attachment “C”. DISCUSSION: At the April 18, 2016 Board of Directors meeting the following resolution was adopted: Moved and seconded by Directors Cunningham and Fleming That staff be directed to meet with the Okanagan Landing and District Community Association and report back to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee to confirm the following with regard to construction of a proposed 20 foot by 30 foot covered picnic shelter at Paddlewheel Park: − Total cost of the building and contribution required from the Regional District − Options for providing funding − Form and character of structure − Location of structure. CARRIED In the current agreement between the RDNO and the OKLDCA both parties have mutually agreed to consult one-another on any new structures placed within each-other’s land, Attachment “A”. The expected outcome of the agreement consulting between parties is to help ensure cohesive park development when projects arise. As this project is being driven by the OKLDCA, and the picnic shelter is located on Landing Association Property, it is understood that the structure would (upon the completion of construction) become the property of the OKLDCA and as such they would be responsible for the maintenance and operation associated with the picnic shelter. To ensure the proposed shelter meets requirements related health, welfare and safety of the public the project will include geotechnical, structural and work performed on-site will be carried out by contractors licensed in the City of Vernon. RDNO staff have also met with the OKLDCA on-site and have come up Report to: Greater Vernon Advisory Committee File No.: 6140.12.03 Paddlewheel Park From: Parks, Recreation and Culture Date: May 5, 2016 Re: Paddlewheel Park Structure Page 3 of 4 with an agreement on the location for the shelter in the best interests of sightlines into the park and public usage. As a partner to the Lease Agreement the Regional District would expect that during the construction project the contractors engaged by the OKLDCA would conduct in a professional work-like manner and upon completion of the project the OKLDCA keep the picnic structure in a well maintained state consistent with other picnic shelter structures and buildings within the Greater Vernon service area. BACKGROUND/HISTORY: • The Regional District and the Okanagan Landing Association have been in a partnership agreement to manage Paddlewheel Park since 1981. • Part of Paddlewheel Park is owned by the Okanagan Landing and District Association and part of the park is owned by the RDNO, Attachment “A”. • Both parties renewed an agreement which commenced in January 14, 2009 the details of which are as follows: • Five (5) year term from commencement on January 14, 2009 and four (4) further renewals of five (5) years at same conditions in the agreement. • The Regional District will retain responsibility for maintenance and appearance of the buildings, launching ramp and playground equipment which are on the premises. • The Regional District is not responsible for the Landing Hall, Stationhouse, Caretakers Residence and three (3) NOSA Buildings located within the NOSA lease area between the OKLDCA and the North Okanagan Sailing Association. • The OKLDCA shall continue to make the park available for the use of the public as a community park. • The Regional District may, at its expense, improve or make modifications to the park including construction and installation of recreational equipment and facilities from time to time. All improvements shall be subject to the owner’s written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld by the owner. • The Regional District may charge a fee for users of the boat launch located in the park provided such a fee is consistent with the fee charged by the Regional District at other similar facilities operated by the Regional District within Greater Vernon. • The OKLDCA shall not expand or add to the buildings without written consent of the Regional District, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. • The OKLDCA shall be responsible for all necessary snow removal in respect of the parking lot. • The parties agree that the parking lot should be paved at some time in the future to reduce dust, oil stains in the buildings, particularly Paddlewheel Park Community Hall. At a later time determined Report to: Greater Vernon Advisory Committee File No.: 6140.12.03 Paddlewheel Park From: Parks, Recreation and Culture Date: May 5, 2016 Re: Paddlewheel Park Structure Page 4 of 4 at the discretion of the Regional District, the Regional District will, at its expense, pave the parking lot to a standard consistent with those then prevailing in similar parks within Greater Vernon area. • The parties agree that it is their mutual intent to, at some time in the future, remove the caretaker's house from the lands. Upon removal of the caretaker's house, the land upon which the caretaker's house is presently situated shall remain free of buildings to allow an unobstructed view and passageway to the park from the parking lot. When the caretaker's house is removed, the parties would attempt to make arrangements for continued security. FINANCIAL/BUDGETARY CONSIDERATIONS: Project funds would be allocated from the remaining balance of the Greater Vernon Arts, Culture and Youth Project Grant budget or alternatively, 060 Operating Reserves. The Greater Vernon Arts, Culture and Youth Project Grant Budget 2016 is $66.000. Current unallocated funds within the grant program are $44.500.

  • Steamboats on Okanagan Lake

Sicamous departs from Okanagan Landing during World War I Photo courtesy Kelowna Museum 34 STEAMBOATS ON OKANAGAN LAKE The Importance of Water Travel Lakes, rivers, and oceans have been important for thousands of years. People have used waterways as a means of exploration and transportation. Exploration opened up new lands. Often, new settlements were built near waterways. Once people settled in new areas, they needed a way to get supplies in and trade goods out. This need for transportation was true on Okanagan Lake in the late 1800s. There were not many white people in the Okanagan Valley at that time because there was not an efficient transportation system in place. But as more commercial boats travelled on Okanagan Lake, more people settled on the lake’s shore. Water transportation helped to settle the Okanagan Valley. Dawn of the Steamboats The S.S. Aberdeen and the S.S. Okanagan were the first Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) sternwheelers on Okanagan Lake. S.S. stands for steamship. The CPR sternwheelers used steam power to drive the large paddlewheels at the back, or stern, of the boats. These boats were also called paddlewheelers because of the large paddlewheels. The sternwheelers were used to transport people, food, supplies, tools, clothes, and mail. They also carried horses, cattle, and 35 machinery. They were a very important means of transportation in the Okanagan Valley. The CPR built the Aberdeen and the Okanagan because there was a need for regular transportation from Okanagan Landing, which was at the end of the Shuswap & Okanagan Railway line, to Penticton at the south end of Okanagan Lake.

July 10 Antwerp (Anvers) receiver. This issue’s “favourite cover” hails from Nass Bay on the northern BC coast, where seven salmon canneries operated during the first half of the 20th century. One of them, the Port Nelson—located on the site of a former saltery—had a post office, which opened on Aug 1, 1903. The Port Nelson was adjacent to the Arrandale Cannery, and in 1910 both enterprises were bought by the Anglo- British Columbia Packing Co. The Port Nelson post office closed on July 1, 1905, and postal operations were transferred to Arrandale. This is the only reported card or cover from Port Nelson and the only known strike of the Port Nelson split-ring datestamp. The card, a portrait of “an Indian warrior,” was addressed to Germany, though Antwerp (“Antwerpen” in Dutch, “Anvers” in French) was part of Belgium at that time (and still is today).
