Representatives from the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO), Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD), and Splatsin met earlier this month to establish a Technical Team that will continue meetings with CP Rail officials to discuss acquisition options for the remaining sections of the 50-kilometre CP Rail lands.

“We are pleased with these next steps taken toward acquiring the abandoned CP Rail lands as a contiguous corridor,” says Splatsin Chief Wayne Christian.

Shuswap Watershed Agricultural Land Use Inventory 2015

Columbia Shuswap Regional District, Salmon Arm, Sicamous

One of the most important requirements for the long-term viability of agriculture is the availability of water. The Ministry of Agriculture, Columbia Shuswap Regional District and the Partnership for Water Sustainability in BC are working together to collect information on the land use status of farming areas to develop an agricultural water demand model.

The BC Wildfire Service is urging industry partners and all persons to please be extremely cautious and diligent while carrying out activities outdoors.  The weather for the Kamloops Fire Centre is forecasted to remain hot and dry for the next 8 - 10 days, which further intensifies the potential of a wildfire breaking out.
