The North Okanagan Regional District finds itself in a good position to borrow money from the provincial Municipal Finance Authority.

Board Chair Bob Fleming says it is lending money at historically low rates which could mean a good deal for borrowing for the new arena

” Hopefully, we’ll be in those rates that now are at historic lows. We haven’t had our rate set but we know it’s going to be a low rate.”

The District is borrowing 13 million dollars for the arena addition.
