Okanagan Falls incorporation has gone ‘off the rails’: Town Hall – Vernon Morning Star
Aug 11, 2025
Public sentiment appears to have shifted following the referendum
Five months after Okanagan Falls residents narrowly voted to incorporate as their own municipality, frustration over stalled progress has pushed the province’s new Municipal Affairs Minister to agree to meet face-to-face with local leaders.
B.C. Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs Christine Boyle will meet next week with Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) Area D director Matt Taylor and other senior officials to discuss how to get the process back on track. Boyle’s office has not yet confirmed whether the talks will take place in Penticton or at the Ministry’s offices in Victoria, but Taylor said he and his team are willing to travel.
“As long as they give us 24 to 48 hours notice, we’ll meet them anywhere,” Taylor said Friday.
