The Regional District of North Okanagan is pleased to announce the strategic purchase of 1217 Highway 6.  Through the White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture service, the RDNO has completed the acquisition of this two plus acre parcel in Electoral Area ‘E’ to facilitate a variety of potential objectives and to position the community for the growth and expansion of its population and to meet the service needs of that area.

“This is a great step in facilitating the continuity and expansion of services that brings Cherryville together.  It provides the platform for the community to come together and envision what it wants for recreation, culture and protective services” enthuses Jim Johnson, Electoral Area ‘E’ Director.

It is expected that there will be further planning exercises to identify key community priorities but already a number of potential opportunities including a centralized location for a library, a museum and community fire equipment storage have been identified as ideas for further consideration.
