Kelowna council highlights from June 1:

Cultural policy

Council approved updates to the City’s Cultural Policy. The policy was adopted in 1990 with recognition that culture is important to the wellbeing of the community, the quality of life for residents and the economic vibrancy of the city. The Policy provides direction for the City in the development, management and administration of cultural services. Read the full report here.

Kelowna Community Theatre

Council considered the results of an audit report for the Kelowna Community Theatre Operating Model. Staff will investigate and make further recommendations related to changes to Front of House services; changes to Box Office services; and increased arts programming that could fill existing gaps in performance variety.

Facilities re-opening

Council received an update on the approach and framework to re-opening City-operated sport and recreation facilities and reactivating programs as part of the COVID-19 response. Staff are working with other Okanagan municipalities, School District 23 and Interior Health to discuss re-opening plans and ensure alignment where possible. The full report can be read here.
