Range Closure Effective November 1, 2020

OKIB and RDNO Reach Agreement for Maintenance of Sandy Beach

Members, the Government of BC has issued a news release stating effective noon on Thursday, April 16, 2020, most open burning activities will be prohibited throughout British Columbia to reduce the likelihood of human caused wildfires, although campfires will still be allowed.

We are taking the extraordinary step of closing all OKIB offices for a minimum of 3 weeks, from March 17 to April 6, 2020 or until further notice. OKIB phone lines will remain open and staff are working remotely in order to do our best to provide the same levels of service that you are used to. Reception will direct calls to the appropriate staff. See the news release for important phone numbers.

Deadline extended to March 20 @ 3p.m. Have skills in video making? It’s your time to shine! Communicate OKIB’s need for a new school and how that would impact our community in way that sparks interest in our project and encourages people to engage with our fundraising initiatives.

The project team is now ready to present the final Phase 1 and 2 Plans to the community. Please join us on Thursday, February 27th from 5 to 7 p.m. for an open house where we will share what we heard from the community throughout the planning process.
