It is most fortunate therefore, that we are able to accurately document the precise circumstances under which the Peachland Methodist Church, forerunner of Peachland United Church, came into existence. As you will see from the following document, a meeting of unattached, like-minded Methodists was held in the Orange Hall on August 19 th , 1907 to discuss the future of Methodism in Peachland. While we celebrate the first service in our church on November 5 th , 1911 as day 1 of our 100 year history, this document clearly shows that our church, at that time without a permanent home, is actually 104 years old this year. Two points of interest. This two page photocopied document was among a large box of papers donated to the church after two long-time Peachland United Church members Jeff and Jean Todd had both passed away. It is taken from a Minute Book, pages 2 and 3, that was obviously intended to be the official record of the new Methodist church.

  • 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.
