Sparked by recent wildfire response challenges and resident concerns over aesthetics and community character, the council insists on exploring underground alternatives — even though it’s 10 times more expensive and more disruptive. Local helicopter crews fear the towers could block critical flight paths, while residents argue the overhead lines don’t fit the Okanagan way of life. BC Hydro says underground is costly and complex, but the council’s message is clear: they won’t accept the status quo — not for aesthetics, safety, or long-term vision.
