'Beloved' ex-mayor passes

Peachland's former mayor, George Waldo, passed away Friday.

Waldo was sometimes controversial during his time as mayor in the 1980's and 90's.

Waldo lived in Peachland for 34 years and served three years as a councillor before being elected mayor. He sat in the chair for a total of 19 years.

“It is with heavy hearts that we share news of the passing of George Waldo,” said a news release issued by the District of Peachland Friday.

Waldo was so well regarded that the road, Waldo Way was named after him.
