Eight Okanagan Lake waterfront land owners on Watt Road, just north of Boyce-Gyro Park, have had their properties designated as future parkland by the city. (ADAM PROSKIW / iNFOnews.ca) July 13, 2021 - 6:00 PM Led by councillor Luke Stack, Kelowna city council resisted a strong lobbying effort by eight Okanagan Lake waterfront land owners on Watt Road and designated their properties as future parkland. But it might take decades to buy and develop the land. “If we really do believe that this is part of what we need as a community, we should have enough courage and stand up and say, 'this is what we need,'” Stack said near the end of an hour-long discussion over the land at city council's meeting Monday, July 12.
