Residents of North Westside communities will have three opportunities to learn more about their governance at a series of open houses.

Members of the North Westside Governance and Services Study committee and consultants will be on hand with information and to answer questions about the committee’s work, its interim report and receive comments from residents.

Residents of the Central Okanagan West electoral area are invited to attend the sessions at the Killiney Beach Community Hall June 8, 13, and 22.

The sessions will run from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

The consultants will provide a presentation at each event at 7 p.m., followed by a question and answer period.

Residents are encouraged to attend the event that best suits their schedule, as all information will be the same at each open house.

The study committee and consultant are engaging residents in an analysis of current regional district governance and service delivery with a particular emphasis on the communities within the North Westside fire protection area.

Residents of the area have pushed for an investigation of self-governance for some years.

"The study is exploring residents’ governance concerns, common interests and this fall, will provide options to address their most pressing needs within the regional district governance framework," the RDCO says.
