Monday's city council meeting will be held at UBC Okanagan

Council show hits the road

Kelowna city council is taking its show on the road.

For the first time in more than a decade, council will hold a full, regular Monday afternoon meeting somewhere other than City Hall.

Monday's meeting will be held on the campus of UBC Okanagan. Instead of a 1:30 p.m. start, the meeting is slated to gavel in at 6 p.m.

The last time council held a meeting away from council chambers was in March 2007, when three meetings were held at Kelowna Community Theatre while council chambers underwent renovations.

The change of venue came about through a conversation between deputy vice-chancellor and principal Deborah Buszard and Mayor Colin Basran.

City clerk Stephen Fleming says once council voted to accept the invitation, it became a matter of logistics to ensure there were adequate facilities in which to hold the meeting.
