Annex A Program Synopsis
THE OKANAGAN YOUTH RECOVERY HOUSE: SOLACE, HEALING & RECOVERY 1/2
PHASE 1: OKANAGAN YOUTH RECOVERY HOUSE
Phase 1: A 6-bed facility based treatment program for young people under the age of 19 who
present with Substance Use Disorder, Alcohol Use Disorder or Concurrent Disorder and for whom
community based or other outpatient approaches have not been effective.
Overview
The Youth Recovery House:
Employs evidence-based interventions which reflect the multi-dimensional nature of
addiction, and will impact the physical, social, environmental, psychological, cultural and
spiritual circumstance of the participants;
Provides tailored and individualized approaches to best respond to each admitted youth’s
diagnosis, presenting concerns, individual competencies and priorities;
Creates the conditions for young people to embark on a process of change, which will
improve their health and well-being, their ability to direct their own lives and inspire them
to reach their potential; and,
Enables young people to foster healthy relationships and reconnect with themselves, with
community, with nature, and with those who genuinely care for their well-being.
Program Description
The Youth Recovery House is a holistic, voluntary, licensed and accredited program that
provides a safe, stable home-like environment and therapeutic community for individuals under
the age of 19.
Each program is tailored to meet the needs and skills of the individual seeking treatment; the
program is scaled to address their presenting concerns and aptitudes based on the following
framework:
Clinical Intervention: Individual and group therapy focusing on mental health, family conflict,
relationships, esteem, decision-making and introductory trauma work. Modalities include eco-
therapy, motivational enhancement, family counselling, EMDR, CBT, and Narrative Therapy,
amongst others. Medication Assisted Treatment is introduced and maintained as appropriate.
Psychoeducation: Provides foundational information to support sobriety, coping, emotional
literacy and harm reduction, which is reinforced through staff interactions and explored in greater
depth in therapeutic group work.
Community Engagement: Supports the prosocial interactions of the young person in residence,
within their peer group, their culture, and in the broader community. Community engagement will
reduce social isolation and create opportunity for life-long connection.
Life Skills: Supports development and mastery of social skills, living skills, decision-making,
emotional regulation and self-care. Individualized lesson plans support educational
attainment/continuation, or support in job search and career development as appropriate.

Annex A Program Synopsis
THE OKANAGAN YOUTH RECOVERY HOUSE: SOLACE, HEALING & RECOVERY 2/2
Family Programming: Involves the young person’s natural supports in the treatment program to
reinforce engagement and therapeutic progress of youth during and after treatment.
After Care: Assertive continuing after care is critical to recovery management, and this support to
all alumni allows families to focus on wellness and relationships while the allied professionals
maintain active involvement in their post-treatment care.
Program Principles
Individualized: At the Youth Recovery House, the participant is at the center of their treatment
experience, not one single specific theory or ideology. All interventions are informed by evidence
and delivered to meet the unique presenting needs of the individual and his/her family.
Strength Based & Collaborative: The Youth Recovery House acknowledges the inherent
strengths and resilience of all young people and engages these protective factors to reduce risk
and support them in achieving their goals and creating a positive vision for their future.
Trauma Informed: The Youth Recovery House respects the intersecting experiences of trauma,
mental health and substance use and works at the individual and program level to mitigate
trauma’s interference with participant’s sense of safety, self, and self-efficacy.
Culturally Relevant: The Youth Recovery House is dedicated to service that connects youth with
the language, beliefs and culture of their communities – as defined by them – in order to tap into
the basic but powerful adaptive systems in their environment.
Duration of Program
The duration of the program will vary, determined by the achievement of agreed upon goals at
admission as well as evolving aspirations during the resident’s time in program. Typical length of
stay will range from three to six months.
Transition planning for eventual discharge begins at the time of admission to ensure safety and
support the ongoing clinical progress of the young person as they move into the aftercare portion
of the program.
Staffing
The Youth Recovery House employs an interdisciplinary team-based approach with skilled
practitioners that include physicians, mental health clinicians, nurses, nutritionists, recreation
therapists, and indigenous advocates/elders. Physical and psychological safety of the young
people receiving care is of paramount concern. The facility is staffed 24/7 with nursing and clinical
support available 7 days per week.
Physician leadership and clinical oversight will be foundational components supporting the
interdisciplinary care team. These roles will have committed dedicated funding for non-billable
program support activities. In addition, Addictions Medicine, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and
Primary Care Physician involvement is available as required to support each young person’s
needs and care plan.

Dear Mayor and Council,
Earlier this summer we sent a letter to you outlining our desire to open a YouthRecovery House for the Okanagan. We are following up with the hope that there maybe an opportunity for us to make a brief presentation to the Mayor and Council ofOsoyoos at an upcoming meeting about the need in our communities and our plans toaddress those needs. Our goal is to obtain a letter of support from you for ourendeavours. We have had the pleasure of speaking to the Towns of Oliver and theDistrict of Peachland and were honoured to receive letters of support from both. As our communities attempt to come to terms with the public health emergencydeclared as a result of the overdose crisis, we share an urgent concern for the healthand wellbeing of our young people and their families. Frustrated that there are no publicly funded spaces of healing and recovery for youngpeople struggling with addiction in the Okanagan (and only 45 spaces in the entireprovince), The Bridge Youth & Family Services is inviting community leaders in theOkanagan to join with us in creating a space of recovery and healing for families andyouth in distress. The Bridge has started the work. We have had discussions with provincial ministers;we have travelled across Canada to seek and learn from the best resources in thecountry; we have begun raising funds; we have met with indigenous elders. Thereremains however much work to do. Our aim now is to meet with community leaders and invite their passion andcommitment to build a space of recovery and healing relevant to all of the Okanagan’syoung people.
Page 12 of 46
Ultimately our desire is have our young people thrive, to grow and achieve theirpotential, and be able to meaningfully contribute to the communities and families whoraised them. We would be honoured if your community could share this vision with us. Thank you for your time and consideration, we look forward to your response. Kindest Regards,

Budget Changes
Over recent years the ORL Boardhas kept annual budget changes ator below inflation rates and has focused on finding internal efficiencies to reallocate fundingto new initiatives
In the past 5 years, the Library Board alsoimplemented an internal financial redistribution tobring closer into line the library service costs in eachcommunity and the taxes received from thatcommunity. This redistribution was largelyimplemented using attrition and is expected to be acontinuous process.

Memo to: Osoyoos Mayor and Council
From: Osoyoos Fireworks Osoyoos Elks

Osoyoos Market on Main Cactus Jalopies
Re: Community Events Concerns
________________________________________________________
We are concerned. We produce successful events in this Town which
increasingly challenge our ability to deliver. Our events are volunteer produced. We are collectively concerned that our volunteers are not
only “burning out” but they are “aging out”. We need to work smart-er, not harder.
Cactus Jalopies is cancelled for 2020 which is a huge loss. We do not
want this to start a trend and are trying to come up with a way for this event to continue. This not only affects the public but hotels, restau-
rants, wineries, etc. Once this event is cancelled for a year it is difficult to bring it back!
To continue to produce our respective events, we are in need of more
cooperation and more involvement from those who benefit from our events; our Town, local businesses and our citizens. We have done
preliminary research on how similar events are run in comparable
communities; none are strictly volunteer driven.
Therefore, we request Mayor and Council to ask key staff, Des-tination Osoyoos, Osoyoos & District Arts Council and Business
Leaders to meet with us to problem solve this situation ASAP. We have already discussed the issues amongst ourselves and identi-
fied some solutions.
We look forward to your cooperation.

REPORT
Committee of the Whole
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2020
TO: Mayor and Council
CC: Allan Chabot, CAO
FROM: Janette Van Vianen, Director of Corporate Services
SUBJECT: South Okanagan Transit – Next Steps
TRACKING NO.: OTH-094
BACKGROUND The RDOS administers the Transit System for the South Okanagan on behalf of BC Transit. A 25-Year Transit Future Plan was implemented in 2015 in consultation with several stakeholders, service groups and the public. Some of the recommendations from the first 5 years of the plan have been implemented. Transit Future Action Plans are conducted every five years following a Transit Future Plan (TFP) to refine those transit priorities and to guide transit decision making over the next 5 years for the transit system. OVERVIEW BC Transit will now be looking at the Transit Future Action Plan. The project scope will include itemizing the (TFP) progress to date; identify and prioritize transit service and infrastructure options; and build on relevant local plans and policies. The next steps will include public engagement which is expected to take place this spring. Phase 1 will be an on-board customer satisfaction survey to be kicked off either end of February or beginning of March. This is to get feedback directly from the users of the systems including their satisfaction of the system and how they use it. Phase 2 will see open houses held within the RDOS areas and online surveys with service and infrastructure options for March/April 2020. It is hoped that a large contingent of Osoyoos residents attend the open house (place and date to be determined) or complete the online survey when it is available, to voice their opinions on Transit. A presentation of the draft Transit Future Action Plan priorities to elected officials of direct partners for endorsement (in our case to the RDOS) will be completed this summer with the Transit Future Action Plan completion scheduled for fall/winter 2020. The RDOS has approved their portion of funding to expand the two midday trips on the Route 70 Penticton/Kelowna to operate every weekday starting in September 2020, and planning work is currently underway for this expansion. This will mean that South Okanagan Transit riders will be able to access the transfer bus to Kelowna in Penticton Monday through Friday. Again, this service is something that we would like to receive feedback from the community and users as we move forward.
