Lake Country bends ear of B.C. Transit


Officials with B.C. Transit got an earful from a Lake Country delegation Tuesday at the UBCM gathering going on in Whistler. They will likely get much of the same at a second scheduled meeting Tuesday evening. The Lake Country delegation, led by Mayor James Baker, met with transit officials to voice concerns over changes to the transit schedule within the community.  Many of those changes are affecting students who attend school in Kelowna. Busses which were getting school children back to Lake Country by about 4:20 are now arriving more than a half hour later, something district officials say is of concern to parents, especially as winter approaches. District CAO Albert De Feo, says the Lake Country delegation made their objections known 'loud and clear.' "It was clear from the meeting that transit officials will work with the District Council and staff to correct the issues and a second meeting will be held this evening (Tuesday) just to discuss Lake Country concerns," says De Feo.
