The district is in the process of applying for tenure for the swimming area at Beach Park.
At its last meeting, council received a recommendation from staff to acquire a licence for the park and swim area for a 30-year-term.
“We don’t currently have a tenure, that’s all this is requiring is tenure to make that swimming area legal,” clarified Coun. Jeff Mallmes.
A memo from staff notes, “As part of our application for a licence for a community park and swimming-area upgrade at the Beach Park, the District of Sicamous has applied for a tenure over Crown land,” adding there is currently no tenure registered with the province.
A diagram of the proposed tenure area from the province was questioned by council, as the proposed tenure boundary goes well past the retaining wall and into the park area. Because of this, council chose to table the recommendation and get clarification.
