A West Kelowna councillor has suggested School District 23 needs a 91裸聊视频榖onk on the head91裸聊视频� when it comes to planning for growth in the city.

Doug Findlater shared his concerns during a review of the city91裸聊视频檚 Official Community Plan (OCP) at the May 24 council meeting, regarding a comment from SD23 about the need for more school sites.

91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 a little bit odd to me given that we just gave up a school site in Goat91裸聊视频檚 Peak,91裸聊视频� said Findlater.

He added that in part because of rapid growth in the city and being dwarfed by Kelowna, the school district91裸聊视频檚 planning has not kept up with West Kelowna.

Findlater also said the city should continue to press the province to get funding for schools.

Overall, staff told council public and stakeholder feedback on the OCP was positive. Top issues included transportation planning, a range of housing options, as well as more affordable and attainable housing. Some councillors said they hoped the OCP would be ready for adoption by now.

Mayor Gord Milsom indicated he would like to see hard dates from staff for implementation of the OCP.

91裸聊视频淟et91裸聊视频檚 put some dates on it if we can,91裸聊视频� added Milsom. 91裸聊视频淟et91裸聊视频檚 have a good timeline when we know this is going to be complete.91裸聊视频�
