They are opening for business. Should be interesting.

[Hmmm]

This should disappoint those who hope people with a vision and a plan fail.

Pretty simple process really. Get the appropriate permits, do the work, have it inspected, receive a final occupancy.
What appears to have happened is simple. The people on Castanet that tried to use fear mongering and misinformation to derail the project, simply had no facts to work with.

A man with a vision, money, and guts has followed the rules and been rewarded for doing so. Great to see someone invest millions into our city and have the opportunity to share it with our community.

Having done battle myself regarding trying to do development, I certainly was and do empathize with Mr.Consiglio.
The basic reply to the post topic is as per Panzer's post, add to that , that you have to listen to what all the power that be tell you, interpret, then re-interpret and keep going back to them, until they can't re-interpret themselves.
at that point.. they tend to approve, and the one doing the development, I can assure you, has more then fulfilled all requirement and expectations.

Kelowna Mountain is a tremendous and far reaching plan, a great vision.

I hope this does gain traction for local and international tourists. I hope its a huge success and I hope it employs lots of people year round.

Gotta give it to him. He spent a lot of money on it against all odds and negative ninnys of kelowna.

...lucky for those whose money it was that he persevered against all the nay-sayers and hurdles presented to see things to a point of completion that the RDCO was finally in a position to issue the occupancy certificate...

...let's hope for all involved this development continues to create an attraction sought after by both locals and tourists and that it enjoys a long and profitable life for investors, workers and owners alike...best of luck to Kelowna Mountain...

what will Kelowna Mtn be when it's finished?

...and the naysayers and tragically negative posters continue to slam.

Regardless, good for the him and the whole project. Regardless of where the money came from (including the principle himself... regardless of who his investors on, these projects ALWAYS cost the principles a lot of money and time, which also have tremendous value), this is a great addition to an area that can always use more attractions and jobs (those same naysayers often ask where the jobs are etc... THIS is where they come from, we are a tourist based economy, don't fool yourselves), and will add much to our local hotels, restaurants and tourism economy in general.

If the naysayers and negative ninnies had their way it is likely we would never have had such minor additions and attractions as Big white, ziplines, the coq, etc etc.

I challenge all of those that go into this post with a negative thought... go ahead with with negativism... but say something positive about this. Truly... something positive. If you havent actually been up there... make something up.
