Consultation for the Fire Hall #32 Replacement Project is underway from July 29 through Aug. 12 and we want to hear from you!
The project includes a new fire hall building consisting of four bays, a large gear room, hose tower, SBCA room and living quarters, community centre, playground, pickleball and tennis courts and more.

Background
For many years, Fire Hall #32 has been identified in poor condition with several studies demonstrating the need for its replacement. This project has been elevated to the top of Council’s priorities to move forward with the assurance that no new tax increases to the community will result.
In March 2024, eligible electors in West Kelowna indicated support for long-term borrowing of up to $8 million to partially fund the Fire Hall #32 Replacement Project as part of the Alternate Approval Process (AAP). As a requirement under the Community Charter, this process ensures the community has an opportunity to submit an Elector Response Form should an individual oppose long-term borrowing.
