Chamber Board of Director News

BOARD VISIONING EVENT PLANNED

The Chambers newly elected Board of Directors under the direction of their President Marvin Farkas will be invited to a visioning exersise on July 26th.

Our Central Ecomomic Development CEO Robert Fine has kindly agreed to facilitate the Board in the process of reviewing their past 3 year plan and establishing a new stragic vision to move forward through to 2014.

________________________________________________

Message from Community Issues Chair Marvin Farkas.

I would like to give you an update on the topic discussed during the last Community Issues meeting at the LC Chamber office.

I met with Alberto De Feo last Wednesday and brought up the issues related to obtaining development and construction permits at the District. Currently in the works are plans to reduce the wait times to 2 weeks for permit approval. We also discussed a " checklist " so that an applicant does not have to keep returning only to find out that additional work has to be done. The District does acknowledge that there are problems and they are working toward streamlining the process.

On the discussion concerning

Main street, one of the landowners has applied to subdivide his property, which is great news since that will lower the price and make it more attractive to smaller developers. The OCP currently lists Main streetas a mix of residential, commercial and office with a goal of maintaining a certain look. For those who have suggested that we need a brand hotel, the vacancy rate in Kelownais currently 54% on average, so we should not expect any progress on that front until that vacancy drops significantly.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

ILL FATED"plunges the viewer into the boxed in world of Jimmy, a small-town teen who seeks a better life but who sees dead-end signs at every turn out of town." It has been viewed internationally on the film festival circuit and Lewis has won many awards for his accomplishments in his field.

Mike McKinlay specializes in documentary film and has a particular interest in the natural world. His short film, "

Fallen Gardens: a Portrait of a Deer Problem," explores a community that is faced with an overwhelming amount of destruction to their properties by deer.

Osaka, Japan by Michael Judd and Shannon Lester. Shannon and Michael explore the darker side of the human psyche via their drag personas Sasha Zamolodchikova ( Shannon) and Belgium Solanas (Michael). Sasha and Belgium are cannibal witch, serial killer glamazons who travel the world causing lots of trouble everywhere they go. In their new film, The Art Consumers, filmed on location in New York City, the Kiss Kiss gals pose as illustrious European art collectors in order to fool a young American couple into becoming their next victims. This event is intended for an adult audience.

CBC- Business Investment & National Product Exposure Hello,My name is Katie and I am a producer with CBCTelevision. I am currently developing a new show and am looking for businesses to participate. We are searching for Canadian businesses that are interested in receiving a financial investment from a Canadian investor. To go along with that, we are looking for businesses that actually need a financial investment, for one reason or another.

During the show the viewers learn about the businesses (how they started, why they've been successful, how they fit into Canadian culture, etc.) The benefit to the businesses is not only a possible cash investment, but also the opportunity to get national product exposure and expert industry advice from the investor.

We are recruiting established businesses (not brand new start ups) that have been profitable and now need an investment to move forward. So, the businesses must actually need the financial investment. If the businesses have a unique story to share (for example, they employ many people in the community, they're an integral part of the region, etc.) that's all the better. But the key is that they actually require money at this time because they've hit some sort of bump in the road. (for example, maybe the business hasn't fully recovered from the recession, they had a bad year with their crops, etc.) The investment on this show would be one of their last resorts in terms of saving their business. Since we'll only be featuring a few businesses, we really want to find those most in need.

If you know of any businesses that fit this criteria and might be interested in participating in the show, please let me know.

Thanks for your time!

Summer Arts Scene For Youth in Central Okanagan Society (SASFY) , a non-profit arts organization with Revenue Canada charitable status is hosting its second annual Summer Arts School August 8-13, 2011 right here in the Okanagan at the ideal, modern and well-equipped "state of the arts" George Elliot Secondary School & Creekside Theatre.

This year, as an extra convenience for parents and students, a West Kelowna/Kelowna school shuttle bus service will provide transportation. The "Ignite the Passion in the Arts" workshops program, a unique inter-connection of the arts educational opportunity of excellence for youth primarily ages 9-15, is already in place with registration open for enrollment.

After a very successful August 2010 inaugural year and the continuing support from Superintendent Hugh Gloster, School District No. 23,

George Elliot Secondary School, Creekside Theatre and the District & Council of Lake Country, Summer Arts Scene For Youth is ready to welcome local students from across the Okanagan and visiting youth participants from outside the Valley.

The outstanding and exclusive Okanagan faculty team, comprising of 14 professional artists, teachers and performers many with national and some with international experience, is keen to share a wealth of talents and knowledge with youth and give back excellence to the community. An awesome and diverse variety of workshops is being offered and students have the wonderful opportunity to choose 1 favorite workshop from each of the 3 segments: 1) animation, mixed media, wood working, piano

2) creative dance, guitar, photography, fashion design 3) voice/musical theater, painting, hip hop, culinary arts.

The SASFY Board of Directors, operated exclusively by a passionate group of local volunteers who are committed to promote arts excellence in our community, has been working very hard to create an exceptional all round 6 day summer arts school workshops program for the amazing value of only $150.00. The base tuition fee includes West Kelowna/Kelowna shuttle bus service, all snacks and lunches along with 6 hrs. of professional instruction Monday-Friday and a culminating Saturday afternoon Arts Gala Extravaganza exhibition/concert on this year's theme "Kaleidoscope".

Early registration, to secure first choice workshops in each of the three segments, is highly recommended to avoid disappointment. To ensure top quality instruction, space is limited due to class size restrictions.

For a

FUN, exciting and creative summer arts experience for youth, the SASFY summer arts school is the best place to be August 8-13, 2011

For more information and details on how to register, see www.sasfy.ca , email info@sasfy.ca or call 250-768-1404.

Celebrate Lake Country! Come for the Fun!

The first annual “Celebrate Lake Country Tourism” takes place leading into the National Tourism Week, on Friday, June 4 from 3:30 pm to 7:30 pm. The event takes place at Swalwell Park, directly adjacent to the Lake Country Farmers’ Market and the brand new water park. Lake Country residents are invited to drop by, do some market shopping, enter the draws at activity tables, and stay for entertainment complements of John Pulfer & friends at 3:30 Steve Stairs at 5:30 and John Hintz at 6:30 .

Be better informed and have some fun at this all-ages event. Showcase organizers are planning to host vendor demonstrations with kids’ activities nearby, and they’re hoping that lots of people will bring their families out to enjoy a traditional picnic in the park. Music, snack food and refreshment sales will be available onsite or bring your own picnic and lawn chairs for this community celebration.

Vendors are invited from the hospitality, arts & culture, agri-tourism and outdoor adventure sectors. “Our goal is to get even the smallest B&B or outdoor adventure represented so Lake Country residents know who to recommend visitors to, and why! “ explains committee chair Katrina Landles, “Vendor costs will be minimal and we have coordinated several avenues to get the information out".

As this is a not-for-profit event, vendor display prices are very reasonable: Space can be rented for as little as $37. A dedicated group of volunteers are planning pre-event marketing campaigns, which include a display of the event the week of May 31st in the Foyer of the District of Lake Country Municipal Hall and posters distributed around town and more.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for Lake Country Tourism vendors. They can market their products in a celebratory outdoor market atmosphere, to reach their Lake Country neighbours who are the best referral network!” enthuses one organizer, Tanis Kuntz. “We anticipate a lot of excitement and involvement from the Community!”
