This video explains the purpose of the Okanagan Falls Incorporation Study.

Background: In 2021/22, the RDOS undertook a Services and Boundary Configuration Study for Electoral Area "D," supported by a community volunteer Committee. At the end of the Study, the Committee recommended that RDOS ask the B.C. Government to fund an Incorporation Study for Okanagan Falls.

In the fall of 2022, the RDOS Board of Directors requested an Okanagan Falls Incorporation Study. The B.C. Government approved the Study in spring 2023, based on a defined incorporation study boundary. Over spring and summer 2023, RDOS hired a consulting team to undertake the Incorporation Study, and established a community volunteer Committee to ensure that the Study is objective and thorough.

The purpose of the Incorporation Study is to provide electors within the study area with the information and understanding required to make an informed decision on incorporation.

At the end of the Study (early 2025), the community Committee will recommend to the RDOS Board whether to request that the Minister of Municipal Affairs order a referendum on incorporation of the Okanagan Falls area.

The RDOS Board will consider the Committee's recommendation along with the Study findings and decide whether to hold a referendum on incorporation.
