As the pandemic continues to subside, your Okanagan Chapter returns with renewed energies. On July 8, our steering committee met to analyze and direct our next year and actively seek voices to join our cause. This next year is looking full of life!

We have heard of many sustainable energy advances that have occurred this past year and are eager to explore success stories around the energy solutions we need.

On the hottest day on record for Kamloops at 46.4°C, Kamloops City Council voted to adopt the Community Climate Action Plan.

'The Kamloops Chapter is in the midst of major changes! Our meeting on May 20th was the last attended by our long-time Chair Cheryl Kabloona, who is stepping down from BCSEA volunteer work.

The BCSEA Board of Directors hereby gives notice of its Special General Meeting to be held Saturday, April 24, 2021, for members only. This virtual meeting will commence at 10 a.m.

The Sunshine Coast Community Solar Association is embarking upon another community solar array! Following the successful launch of a 28 solar panel array on the roof of the Sechelt Senior Activity Centre roof, two of the SCCSA's newest board members – mom Megan Kelso and son Cody (youth representative) will begin a walk from Gibsons to Powell River to raise funds for a solar panel array on the roof of the BC SPCA Sunshine Coast building in Wilson Creek.

City of Kamloops

Kamloops City Council decided in November to pursue a curbside organic waste collection program in a phased approach, pending approval of grants.  We here at BCSEA were happy to help out recently with a letter supporting one of the City’s funding applications. Good luck with that!  We know how many Kamloops residents are eager to have a curbside organics program.
