A Home Away (AHA) is asking for your support.  The recently incorporated municipality of the District of West Kelowna is currently challenging the existence of AHA in the residential neighborhood of Lakeview Heights.  This is despite AHA having been granted valid business licenses and work permits on rennovations since its inception 6 years ago, and there has been no substantial change in the nature of our program.

A positive outcome would be either a variance from the existing zoning, or a re-zoning of the property to commercial status.  Please help us achieve this by writing a letter of support to the municipality.

We suggest you include in your letter what AHA means to you, and, secondly, the value of AHA, in its own special location, to the local community, families, and beyond.

Please write to the municipality today.

Please email Andrew Gaylor, Planning Technician, District of West Kelowna,

Andrew.Gaylor@districtofwestkelowna.ca

or, if you prefer, the mailing and street address is: 2760 Cameron Road, Kelowna, BC V1Z 2T6, telephone 778-797-8838.

If you would like us to also include your letter in a complete record of support for presentation, please send a copy to ahomeaway@gmail.com.

A second option is to use the comment box below, and we will make sure the District of West Kelowna receives a copy of your message.

Please forward this request to anyone else that you know would like to support A Home Away.

Jane and I thank you with humility and gratitude on behalf of A Home Away, our guests, and people whose livelihood is supported by AHA.

John
