The Village and the Band are researching a business model that would work with the Okanagan people”.The village delegation also met in length with Minister of Community Services Minister Ida Chong about governance issues in the Okanagan and a subject that impacts the local Chamber of Commerce operating budget, business licences.“There was a lot of concern that the province was going to take all our business license money and we weren’t going to see it, but that’s not going to happen… the money is going to come to us,” according to Foster who claims the new system will allow businesses to do their business in different communities.
