Okanagan Falls may need to change its name in order to become B.C.'s newest municipality

Social Sharing A small community in B.C.'s South Okanagan may have to undergo a name change. The possible change comes after Okanagan Falls voted to incorporate to become B.C.'s newest municipality. The incorporation process was exciting to Mike and Kyle Belich. The father-son duo moved to Okanagan Falls three years ago, and quickly noticed a shift in the small beach-side community. "We came to look at this place in the summertime and the mountain was on fire, and everything was boarded up, the gas station didn't have gas, the bank was closed, and there was hardly a place to have a cup of coffee, but now the difference is incredible," said Kyle Belich. The Belich family now owns and operates Okanagan Falls's only grocery store. The community is around 15 kilometres south of Penticton, B.C., at the foot of Skaha Lake. It has a population of just under 2,300 people, but that hasn't stopped businesses like the Belich's from succeeding. "It's a growing little community and once we set up here, the hotel opened up, the Avery [Farms] group opened up for their lettuce plant and there are other developments coming in," said Mike Belich. UNDRIP creates change The recent rise in economic development spawned a movement to become an official municipality. Residents who voted in support wanted to see more local decision making, and more money to go towards infrastructure projects to boost the community's growth. Residents voted 53 per cent in favour of incorporation last March. However, becoming the first B.C. community to incorporate since the province adopted the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) in 2019 means the process is taking place within a changed political landscape. The legislation specifically states that Indigenous people have the right to "designate and retain their own names for communities, places and persons." B.C.'s Ministry of Municipal Affairs told CBC News it is working in partnership with the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen and the Osoyoos Indian Band to explore how the community's name can better reflect the original language, culture and heritage of the area. WATCH | Okanagan Falls to become municipality: Okanagan Falls to become B.C.'s newest municipality 1 day ago It's a process that has taken some by surprise. "We are being asked by the province to consider a name change. If that had been the case, our feeling is that should have been made known prior to the referendum," said Matt Taylor, chief electoral area director for the regional district. He said many people who voted in support of incorporation did so because they wanted to see more local decision making. "If the province would like us to consider a name change, that's the responsibility at this point of a mayor and council," he said. Indigenous rights considered Chief Clarence Louie of the Osoyoos Indian Band said name changes are an important step and are long overdue. "Okanagan Falls is an important site for our people, we had a reserve there, no one can deny that, and name changes are happening in this country," he said. The chief also disagreed that renaming Okanagan Falls should be a decision for the new mayor and council. "When it comes to reconciliation and land claims and Indigenous people having rights, those aren't up for a vote," he said. Discussions on a possible name change for Okanagan Falls are still in the early stages, according to Louie. As for the Belich family, while they are concerned about the delays that may come with naming the community, they are excited for what lies ahead, now that the community is moving towards incorporation. "We are creating a really amazing place here, and we have no where to go but forward and up," said Kyle Belich.

An Edmonton hotel ‘steeped in history' turns 110

Archival video from CFRN News of renovations at Edmonton's Hotel Macdonald in 1991. Edmonton's 'chateau on the river' is celebrating its 110th anniversary. Fairmont Hotel Macdonald, the luxury hotel overlooking the North Saskatchewan River, is almost as old as the city itself. General manager Cole Millen said it's 'pretty special' to be a part of something that's been around for so long. 'Everyone's so proud of the hotel. They were here for a wedding. They were here for their first drink when they turned 18. They celebrated a graduation here,' Millen said. 'Everyone's got a story to tell about the hotel, and everyone seems to have a sense of pride about it.' Fairmont Hotel Macdonald The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald in Edmonton. (Dave Mitchell/CTV News Edmonton) Despite changing with the times, Millen said people can still tell that the location is 'steeped in history.' 'I think when you step through the doors, you can still recognize and appreciate that you're in a building that has some character and some heritage to it,' he said. In 2024, the hotel went through a renovation of 165 of its guest rooms and meeting space. 'So everything looks pristine and new the way that guests expect, but still has that heritage,' Millen said. 'I think more and more people are looking for that.' Expand Autoplay 1 of 3 Fairmont Hotel Macdonald Fairmont Hotel Macdonald renovations in 1991.

The hotel was Edmonton's first-ever designated heritage spot, after former Mayor Terry Cavanagh petitioned for it in the eighties. Its status means the facade of the building is protected and many of the core elements – the Wedgwood ceiling, the Confederation lounge, the staircase and banister – will remain the same for generations. Millen said despite its reputation for luxury, he's happy that Fairmont Hotel has become more accessible to everyone visiting. He reflected that the very definition of what luxury is has evolved with the hotel over time. 'Now you can come in, and you'll certainly still see people who are dressed up, but people are much more comfortable …. And feeling very much at home,' he said. 'And we want people to feel like it's their home.' With files from CTV News Edmonton's Dave Mitchell

Modern luxury home with a triple garage sold above neighbourhood average price

10951 130 St., N.W., Edmonton Asking price: $1,998,000 (June, 2025) Selling price: $1,975,000 (July, 2025) Taxes: $15,097 (2024) Days on the market: 18 Listing agents: Clare Packer and Cathy Cookson, Re/Max Excellence Five kilometres west of downtown Edmonton, bungalows from the 1940s are a more common sight than newer properties, like this two-storey house with a detached triple garage and suite. Only a few buyers and about 15 agents viewed the property as one individual negotiated a $1,975,000 deal within a few days of its debut. Conditions were waived two weeks later. 'Over a two-year span, the average days on market in Westmount is 45 days and the average price is $675,000, so this sold exceptionally quickly and way above the average in the neighbourhood,' said agent Clare Packer. 'It's the highest single-family, detached home sale in the entire community by over $100,000.' The property's premium price is mostly attributed to its uncommon features. 'It's new, it's huge with over 3,000 square feet, and it was exceptionally well built,' Ms. Packer said. 'Garage suites are attractive and have a lot of appeal to them, but they are expensive to build. It's like building another little house, so this one's unique.' In 2021, a 48- by 140-foot corner lot was redeveloped with this three-bedroom house and a garage with a one-bedroom suite, complete with a kitchen, bathroom and balcony. The primary residence has a modern farmhouse style and 3,147 square feet of living space, including a loft upstairs, an office off of the foyer and an open kitchen with an island and butler's pantry. Upscale appointments include a white brick fireplace in the living room, vaulted wood ceilings in two bedrooms and herringbone tile work in one of four bathrooms. Ceilings rise 11 feet above recreation and guest rooms in the basement. 'Westmount is a beautiful, mature neighbourhood,' said Ms. Packer. 'It's in proximity to the river valley trail system and downtown as well.'
