The province wants to hear input from Okanagan residents about potential safety improvements for Highway 97 through Lake Country.

On Wednesday, Feb. 5, at the Winfield Memorial Hall, residents are invited to attend an open house where both interim and long-term safety improvement options from Duck Lake to Lodge Road will be discussed.
