#okanagan — Public Fediverse posts

A week ago I had the air conditioning running 24/7.

Now I'm so cold I'm thinking we're going to have to turn on the furnace. Only 13°C outside. Should have closed the window. #Okanagan #Weather

Two days ago we had very strong wind which cleared the valley of all the smoke.

Yesterday, the smoke came back with a vengeance. Summers in the Okanagan. :(

Wish companies and governments took climate change seriously. #Okanagan #Kelowna #ForestFires

Anyone want to go for a bike ride around town? Or Myra? Or the rail trail?

Early morning or late evening when the temperature isn't in the 30s? #Okanagan #Bike #Kelowna

Power generation from my solar roof panels today. Nice sunny day. Generated 52.84 kWh of electricity between 5:25 and 20:40. My average use is between 10 and 20 kWh per day. So I'm generating more electricity than I use.

BC Hydro charges $0.1172 / kWh at tier 1, and $0.1408 at tier 2. I don't know at what rate BC Hydro buys back the excess electricity my roof panels are producing. Let's say it is tier 1: 52.84 kWh * $0.1172 / kWh = $6.19 per day. That's $185 for the month of June?

I haven't received a bill yet since this was installed a few weeks ago, so I really don't know how this works. Purely guessing at this point. #SolarPower #Okanagan #Kelowna

Near my home is a beach that is off-limit to anyone who isn't of "First Nations" ancestry. The sign out front says "Westbank First Nation Private Beach".

What would people say if we had a beach that said "White People Private Beach", or "First Nations Not Permitted"?

Recall that in BC, beach property belongs to the Crown. The rules are:

1) Land Boundary: Private property stops at the natural boundary, the average high-water mark.

2) Foreshore: The sandy, rocky, or wet area between high- and low-water marks is called foreshore. In BC, foreshore is owned by the Crown.

3) The public has a bare license to walk, pass, and recreate on the foreshore. You cannot legally put up fences to block people from walking along the beach. #BC #Okanagan #Kelowna
