Planning initiatives and infrastructure projects include construction of and upgrades to sidewalks and pathways, roads, bikes lanes, buildings, allotment homes, facilities, utilities, and parks and trails.

2017/2018

Zoning Updates

In 2017, Westbank First Nation updated its Zoning Regulation to ensure it is clear and consistent, and to address some important issues.

 The Zoning Regulation Update included a number of minor changes to the existing regulation (e.g. updating the definition of "height") and  major changes; making it easier to have secondary suites and enabling small buildings with corner stores and apartments.

Old Okanagan / Shannon Lake Rd sidewalk extension

In an effort to continue improving pedestrian safety and encourage active transportation, WFN Council approved funding for construction of over 900 metres of new sidewalk, bike lanes, and street lights on Old Okanagan Highway and Shannon Lake Road. The project was completed in October 2017.

Phase ten housing project

WFN received approval to construct six new single family homes on Falcon Lane. Congratulations to the Members who were successful in receiving allotments. Construction of these homes was completed in 2017.

Falcon Lane Phase 2 Servicing Work

The second phase of the Falcon Lane Subdivision servicing work was completed in 2018. The work consisted of road and utility extensions to provide residential lots for WFN housing projects. The project provided 4 single family lots (allotment homes), 2 townhome lots, (8 units for allotment) and 1 triplex lot (WFN rental inventory) accessed off of Fox Court. 

The project received $608,000 from Indigenous Services Canada. 

2016/2017

New Youth Centre

The new Youth Centre, which opened in January 2017 and cost $5.5 million, replaces the previous 2,100 sq. ft. youth building that was purchased second-hand and moved to the community Core in 1998. Usage of the old youth centre had long exceeded capacity, with programs gaining popularity throughout the growing community.

Features:

  • Passive ventilation
  • Outdoor kitchen, classroom and amphitheatre
  • Wood from the WFN Community ForestGreen screens and branch screens
  • Ten offices
  • A space for WFN's Early Years Centre and After-School Program (top floor)
  • Space for youth programs and services (bottom floor)

Westbank Child Development Centre renovation

A $150,000 renovation was completed at WCDC. Renovations included board siding; fencing; flooring; outdoor and indoor lighting; counters and cabinets; sinks and faucets; toilets; appliances; a new air conditioner; and paint throughout the interior and exterior.

2015/2016

Boucherie Public Beach 

Westbank First Nation opened a new public beach on Boucherie Road on September 14, 2015, following six months of construction.

The total cost was approximately $325,000.

Upgrades included a new retaining wall to create a flatter, more usable site; landscaping improvements (trees, plans, irrigation, turf); new park furniture (tables, benches); and a new walkway and bike path along Boucherie Road.

Falcon Lane lots and pathway

Construction of 11 new residential lots and multi-use pathway that connects the Falcon Lane area to the Community Core

Sidewalks

Sidewalks, bike lane, and street lights were installed along Daimler Road, Tomat Avenue, East Boundary Road, and Elk Road to improve pedestrian cyclist safety.

Housing and building renovations

The Phase Nine Housing Project saw the completion of four single family homes on Falcon Lane. Congratulations to the four Members that received allotments.

The 3366 Fox Road Duplex received a major renovation These are WFN's largest rental units at five bedrooms.

New windows were installed at the Westbank Child Development Centre (WCDC).

2014/2015

Sneena Road Overpass

Completed in December 2014 at a cost of $9.3 million, this project fulfilled a longstanding commitment between the Province of BC and Westbank First Nation to provide safe and efficient access at Sneena Road. The road supports ongoing development of the area and future traffic needs, decreases local traffic on Highway 97, and provides alternate access to the William Bennett Bridge. It is particularly helpful for emergency vehicle access to the Casa Loma area and bridge when there is an incident on the highway or heavy traffic.

At the time this project was completed, WFN had contributed over one million dollars toward improvements such as sidewalks, street lighting and infrastructure upgrades.
