Centennial Walkway

A special opening ceremony and community thank you was held November 26, 2010 at 1pm, hosted by Mayor Keith Fielding with greetings from MP Hon. Stockwell Day and MLA Hon. Bill Barisoff. There was a special cake cutting to officially mark the opening and as a way to say thank you to everyone for their smiles and support throughout the project. This project was completed on time and on budget.

  • 1.2 km extension offers a seamless pathway along our scenic stretch of Okanagan Lake
  • 3 metre wide path provides smooth, continuous multi-use pathway surface
  • 1.5-2 metre green belt “bioswale”, also known as a “rain garden” consists of native, low water use plants and offers a pleasant and safe border and works to protect the lake from road runoff pollutants
  • Bioswale also reduces costs to build storm water drainage systems and is a more environmentally sustainable system for protecting lake water quality
  • Traffic calming and stencilled bike markings help guide all users sharing the road
  • Improved access to the beach, including a new wheelchair-accessible picnic table
  • New sidewalks and newly paved Beach Avenue makes for easier and safer travel
  • Energy-efficient path lights, including new LED lit benches for safety – a first in Canada
  • Safer pedestrian-activated crosswalk lights with coloured and textured crossing surface
  • New benches and waste and recycling containers made from recycled materials
  • More opportunities for families to “gift” a bench in dedication of a loved one
  • Sandbox and family area added at Strachan’s corner, between 8th and 11th Streets
  • Approximately 80 percent of the materials from the demolition of the old road and sidewalks is being recycled and reused for this project and others in the future
  • Funding for two-thirds of the project generously provided by provincial and federal government
  • One-third funding provided by reserve funds from the development community.
