Kelowna city council won’t support a request by a local farmer to host unlimited events.

In August, the province relaxed rules around activities on farms. Owners of property in the Agricultural Land Reserve are now allowed to hold up to 10 events, to a maximum of 150 people at each during the year, as long as no additional or permanent structures are built and parking is contained within the property. Anything over and above would require a non-farm use permit from the Agricultural Land Commission.
