Members of the Friends of Gable Beach association are meeting with Lake Country officials today to discuss Gable Beach Road North.

The beach has been a controversial issue in Lake Country, with around 50 residents gathering to protest the sale of the land near Gable Beach during a city council meeting, Nov. 7.

The issue began when three property owners approached the district requesting to purchase a strip of land at the Gable Beach Road end near Okanagan Lake. The potential sale drew criticism from the surrounding residents.

Approximately $1.1 million of the proposed sale would go towards reducing Kelowna’s interest in Lake Country Okanagan Rail Trail lands, according to the district. The negotiated amount for the properties was $1.34 million.

The bylaw in the sale of the land was deferred by Lake Country council at its last meeting.
