The Locations West Investment Group Penticton launched Reflection Point, a $25 million waterfront community in Osoyoos. Reflection Point, on the Shore of Osoyoos Lake is a private waterfront estate development on 9.5 acres. Phase one of Reflection Point includes 12 waterfront and 6 non-waterfront home sites, showcasing gorgeous views of the lake, the surrounding vineyards and the nearby orchards & hills.

Reflection Point is being developed by Reflection Point Developments Inc., a privately owned and operated development company controlled by the Locations West Investment Group. Locations West Investment Group is a development consortium. Locations West has a longstanding tradition for developing superior properties in the Okanagan.

Located in the heart of Canada's premier wine growing region and along 1800 feet of the warmest fresh water lake in Canada, Reflection Point is one of the few premium recreational properties actually on Osoyoos Lake waterfront. It is just minutes from the town centre.

“Osoyoos is one Canada’s most sought after vacation destinations because of its natural beauty and with the scarcity of premium waterfront property in the area we think interest in Reflection Point will be high,” says Robin Agur, president, Locations West Investment Group.

Reflection Point features many private and public amenities, including a proposed neighborhood dock and community park. It is one of the few luxury lakefront properties to recognize the recreational future of Osoyoos and the South Okanagan, and is already attracting interested buyers from Calgary to Vancouver.

Offering favorable pricing and good value for buyers, waterfront home sites start at $895,900 and non-waterfront sites starting at $319,900.

Here's a new reason to toast red wine: A natural compound called resveratrol, found in certain red wines, may trick the body into thinking it's getting fewer calories than it actually is -- and you don't need to overindulge to reap the reward.

Research published in the June 3 issue of the online, open-access journal Public Library of Science One suggests that drinking red wine may offer many of the same benefits as a reduced-calorie diet.

A team of international researchers found that low doses of resveratrol slowed the aging process in middle-aged mice and improved their overall heart health. Specifically, the results observed in the resveratrol-fed mice mimicked those often seen with caloric restriction -- the practice of cutting 20%-30% of calories out of one's typical diet in an effort to improve health and prolong life. Numerous studies have linked caloric restriction to a longer, healthier life.

The researchers believe their findings provide strong evidence that resveratrol can improve one's quality of life and call the idea of low-dose resveratrol supplementation -- in the form of wine or perhaps one day a pill -- "a robust intervention in the retardation of cardiac aging."

Drinking one or two glasses of red wine each day can protect against cardiovascular disease in certain people. However, more than that can result in negative effects that outweigh the positive ones.

Finally, drinking red wine does not completely negate poor lifestyle choices. The calorie-restricted mice had lower rates of cancer. So attaining and maintaining a normal weight, eating a sensible diet, and engaging in regular exercise remain important components for living a long and healthy life.
