The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen will be hosting an electronic town hall on Jan. 13 to discuss the alternative approval process currently underway regarding the Sickle Point property in Kaleden.
The RDOS is seeking to borrow up to $3.5 million through the alternative approval process to purchase the property.
The town hall will run from 7 p.m. until 8 p.m.

If 10 per cent of the qualified electors in the Kaleden Recreation Programming and Facility Maintenance Service area that are being asked to pay for the loan oppose it, the alternative approval process will not go through.
At that point, the RDOS can still proceed to a full referendum, if the property is still available to purchase.
