#OurWK takes a deeper dive on key topics

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 07, 2020

In mid-June, the City of West Kelowna launched a Community Visioning process – #OURWK – to help shape the future of our community. Participants have already provided many great insights and now the City is looking to dig a bit deeper into some of the topics that will be part of the Community Vision.

“The initial #OURWK questionnaire has seen a great response to date and we are hoping for many more responses in the days ahead,” says Mayor Gord Milsom. “We have now launched the Key Topics Process that provides an opportunity for people to focus in on different aspects of the Community Vision that matter most to them. We hope that community members participate in any and all of the topics that are important to them.”

Starting this week and continuing over the next eight weeks, the City will post information and ask for input on key topics. The planned weekly topics are as follows:

• How We Stay Green – Our Environment, July 6 – July 12
• How We Have Fun – Our Parks, Recreation and Culture, July 13 – July 19
• How We Move – Our Transportation, July 20 – July 26
• How We Operate – Our Operations and Maintenance, July 27 – August 2
• How We Learn and Live Well – Our Health and Well-Being, August 3 – August 9
• How We Work – Our Economy, August 10 – August 16
• How We Grow – Our Growth and Development, August 17 – August 23
• How We Live – Our Housing, August 24 – August 30

Each topic will have its own mini-questionnaire, photo challenge, backgrounder, video, and more. The City will also host a series of four online workshops open to anyone wishing to sign up for a roundtable discussion on the topics that interest them. Details about the weekly topics and how to be involved are posted at ourwk.ca.
