A fire at the Westgate Village mobile home park in West Kelowna on Friday night prompted a full response from Fire-Rescue. Two occupants were able to get out, but were taken to hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation and burns. An investigation was not able to determine the cause.
Vancouver Police issued more than 17- thousand dollars in fines and took a 42 year old man to jail, who apparently had turned his downtown penthouse into a nightclub. When police showed up early yesterday morning they found 78 people inside. No one in the three-level unit were wearing masks and all were fined $230 each.

Okanagan College’s ‘Our Students and Your Health Campaign’ has received a large donation from a retired Kelowna couple.
Jim Hodgson and Joy Bianco are donating $30,000 to Okanagan College’s Health Sciences Centre.
“Kelowna is a beautiful place. We’ve seen so many changes here for the positive, and it’s feels good to support the community,” Bianco said.
She was born in Kelowna but spent her formative years in Vancouver.
Bianco added education has always been central to her family. Her father originally taught at Rutland Senior Secondary (RSS). As a mathematician and a music lover, he formed the first school band at RSS before moving to Vancouver.
