Protecting our Watershed

Summerland has an the largest upland watershed in the Okanagan Valley.
So why does the province want to sell the 44 recreational leased lots that surround Headwater's Reservoir? Selling this land will open it up for increased development and threaten the security of the water supply for the 11,000 residents of Summerland.
Every local government, all three regional districts and all water system purveyors in the Okanagan Valley and the Okanagan Basin Water Board all oppose the sale of this land and have stated this repeatedly to the provincial government.
