    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.

    Crofton, BC, Canada | Red Seal Recruiting

    Crofton, BC http://www.croftonbc.com/ The active community of Crofton is situated on the calm waters of Osborne Bay in the Cowichan Valley, 22 minutes’ drive from Duncan. It is home to 2,500 people. The modern town of Crofton was founded in 1902 by Henry Croft, who owned a nearby copper in Mt. Sicker. He used the town to build a smelter, export his copper, and house his workers. The town prospered until world copper prices dropped, causing the closure of the mine in 1908. The miners struggled to find work in the logging and fishing industries until 1956, when a large pulp and paper mill was built on the outskirts of town, attracted by Crofton's deep-sea port. The mill is still in operation today. These days, this friendly forestry community offers quiet parks, comfortable accommodation and a host of family activities such as golfing, swimming, fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Close to Victoria and Nanaimo, Crofton is also is home to one of the ferries heading to Saltspring Island.

  • West Kelowna Transmission Project

    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.
