The city of Kelowna agrees to approve a plan to borrow $241 million to improve sports facilities

The city of Kelowna plans to move forward with plans to borrow $241 million after the deadline to object to the mega proposal expired.

Initially, the city announced plans to promote athletics, including the existing Parkinson's Sports Center, but the estimated total cost of the project is $287 million.

The construction of Glenmore and Mission activity centers and the renovation of Rutland sports fields will also be included in this project.

To avoid public opposition, the city has begun a much-criticized alternative process to obtain the permit.
