For the second time this month Kelowna cops descended on the property partially owned by city councillor Mohini Singh. Kelowna mounties busted suspects of an early morning armed robbery at deputy mayor Mohini Singh's shack. At around 5 a.m. there was a robbery at a business in the 800-block of Rutland Road North.
Latest for slumlord Mohini Singh is to rail against 'racism' using her Punjabi conmen at 'IMARKIT' media. There is more to her revolting rental story.
A citizen writes; "Nothing says “I am slumlord" more than spewing excuses to the media about her wonderful tenants at her rooming house on McCurdy. The site is slated for redevelopment anyways, right Mohini?"
This is a skid rooming house 'tear down' being run into the ground by pure slumlord Mohini Singh. (Ubhi)
Kelowna councillor Mohini Singh is trying to evict pink people from her notorious skid rental after another cop raid. Singh says she has owned a quarter share of the property since 2021.
Singh said the tenants have lived in the home for about a year and that she also experienced issues with a previous renter. Heavily armed police descended on the well recognized skid home at 330 McCurdy Road on Thursday to execute a search warrant.
Kelowna councillor Mohini Singh (Ubhi) is deputy mayor to Tom Dyas.
The latest operation lasted hours and ended with several people being taken into custody and later released. A nearby resident described the house as 'a notorious problem property' and said bylaw officers and cops attend the home regularly. Its beggers disbelief when the City forks out for a 'crime reduction' seminar and its Kelowna councillor slumlord Mohini Singh who has been causing problems for 5 years. A for-sale sign is up at the property, but Mohini Singh says the market is not in her favour. Nobody wants to buy her skid slumlord property for some reason.
Kelowna politicos Luke Stack (lstack@kelowna.ca) and Rick Webber (rwebber@kelowna.ca) have been removed from the 'good' list and the reason for that is that multiple folks are saying they have been compromised. Once a champion of Kelowna Springs, Luke Stack appears to have joined the forces of darkness. A curious decision with a Kelowna election months away. Perhaps Stack and Webber are retiring from elected life.

The 24m road right of way application has been submitted by Denciti here: email is alc.okanagan@gov.bc.ca.
Possible points of concern:
This road application has not been approved by the MOT.
The location of the road is going to be extremely dangerous due to limited visibility to the north, Scotty Creek Road immediately to the north, the high speeds people travel on this road, the lack of lighting on this road, etc.
This road application will not benefit agriculture. It only benefits commercial usage and high traffic to Old Vernon Road, a road that regularly sees tractors driving on it. Why is the ALC sacrificing farmers for commercial benefit?
Road is approximately 1500m in length and 20m wide. Area taken out for road right of way from farmland is 30,000 square metres or 7.41 acres.
There is a creek flowing east to west where the road will be located – have any environment/agricultural assessments been performed in relation to this creek and/or the road? Where will the water flow from this pavement? Into the adjacent turf farm and other agricultural properties, or into Mill Creek? If it is Mill Creek, is this going to pollute the creek and affect wildlife?
Ian Robertson,
Kelowna Springs Golf Course operations owner dished up some abject rubbish. Here. It should be noted Robertson fleeced dummies for $30m for a $5m property.
Robertson spoke of flooding in 2017; "Kelowna Springs and Shadow Ridge were flooded on Saturday when Mill Creek flowed over its banks. "This is the fifth flood in the 23 years I've been here, so we have it down to a science at this point and it's nowhere near as bad as it always looks," said Ian Robertson, General Manager at Kelowna Springs.
In 2023, Kelowna had a rental vacancy rate of 1.3%. By the end of 2025, the vacancy rate had risen to 6.8%, meaning more than five times as many apartments available for rent. In August 2025, the median monthly rent for a typical 1 bd apartment in Kelowna was a record $2,010. The latest numbers released for January 2026 show the same 1 bd is $1,690 a month, a 16% plunge. For 2 bd apartments, the January median was $2,150 -- a 20% decline.
When Kelowna's vacancy rate was tight, the city, provincial and federal governments worked to spark an apartment building boom by offering developers financing and tax breaks, higher density, reduced parking requirements, less red tape and faster approvals. 6-storey apartment complexes appeared everywhere as supply quickly outstripped demand. High unemployment Kelowna is still unaffordable. It is the 12th most expensive city in Canada to rent an apartment.
Eager to launder money, Troika and Canco Petroleum teamed up for multiple new, very cheap, wood frame condo builds on City land.

Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas has accused some on council of politicking with the proposed location of a new performing arts centre. In December, council unanimously endorsed in principle the Pioneer Gardens location adjacent to the Delta Grand parkade. However, a strong public push back was swift and loud, leaving some questioning the decision. Dyas and his always loyal mini-me, the very gay Loyal Wooldridge were at odds with all others yet again. The two men are connected pee pee to bum bum. “I am fine to see this move forward ..." said Wooldridge. Councillor Luke Stack said a second look at the location for the art centre is "reasonable."
Loyal Wooldridge is a fully shameless Dyas penis puller.
Meanwhile Tom Dyas has lied again. In January, during a public safety forum, Dyas claimed the Okanagan Correctional Centre had less than 100 beds of its 378 occupied. That was false.
The actual number is over 200. It is the nearest correctional centre to Kelowna, and much of the forum was focused on what to do about putting Kelowna crooks into the jail. Dyas continuously strokes numbers to benefit his preferred narrative. Dyas was speaking to his 'mandatory' care concept, saying he believes available jail capacity should be packed to the rafters.
Kelowna Council voted Monday 7-2 to give the Kelowna Springs application first reading and advance it to a public hearing. Councillors Ron Cannan and Gord Lovegrove opposed the motion.
“There are considerations beyond land use…it touches floodplain integrity, watershed health, public asset valuation and long-term fiscal responsibility involving an ecologically sensitive area."
“Time is on our side. We have already heard from the public and I don’t see significant change.” That public hearing is scheduled for March 10.
On the eve of an apparently rigged Kelowna council vote on Kelowna Springs, the report of Flood Mapping has appeared in 210 page glory. Here.
McElhanny (January 23, 2026) has disclaimed all liability for relied-upon information, and the underlying AECOM report notes that KSGC is a flood hazard, but not problematic because it doesn't house city infrastructure. The report also doesn't address flooding of nearby properties and others to any meaningful degree because it was not intended to be used for a development analysis.
"Simpson's Pond is identified as ecologically high-value and are intended to be preserved, while the Property is identified as non-critical infrastructure and has no identified flood mitigation measures proposed." "The proposed modification of the floodplain storage volume at the Property does have the potential to impact Mill Creek design flood water levels ..."
Flood mitigation bylaws trump the current application. "Collectively, these instruments require that development within or adjacent to flood hazard areas demonstrate that flood risks are appropriately mitigated through elevation, grading, and drainage controls, and that such development does not result in an increase in flood hazard to adjacent or downstream properties."
The potential flood impacts cannot be ignored by this council.
A citizen makes a point about lack of land valuations
"On November 17, 2025, I submitted a FOI request to the City of Kelowna for all documents relating to its acquisition of 3199 Hollywood Road North. To date, I have not received any information, and there is no reference to land valuations at all within the application. Without this information, along with the valuation of the KSGC lands to be traded, it is impossible for our City Council to make an intelligent and informed decision as to the value of this project to the City of Kelowna. I remind you that, while this is a procedural irregularity in the context of Monday’s hearing, it is absolutely a basis for a claim for judicial review, should City Council approve this application after a public hearing without further disclosure."
The issue is obvious. WHAT is the 9.1 acres of Industrial zoned land at 3199 Hollywood Road North worth? We may say the half of the recreational land at 480 Peno Road being swapped is worth around $2.2m because we have an assessment. A google dive suggests an acre of industrial land in Kelowna is worth $1.82m per acre. Prices vary based on location, servicing, and size.
This prime location is worth AT LEAST$16.4m. At a minimum the premium provided by Kelowna taxpayers over value is 8X.
480 Penno Road, Kelowna Springs Golf Course Land application and City staff recommendations will be 'looked at' by Mayor and Councillors on February 09, 2026. Here. Kelowna residents are being urged to attend that meeting. No comments are allowed.
It will be decided by hugely conflicted politicos if the application should be rejected, or be scheduled for a Public Hearing. Citizens who give a damn about being robbed are being urged to call Tom Dyas and his councillors, and send letters in, NOW.
Ron Cannan is apparently opposed.
42 farming and Industrial neighbours signed a petition in fall of 2025 against development on the land.
The terrible trio are Mohini Singh, Tom Dyas and Loyal Wooldridge. They will vote in favour of destroying Kelowna Springs. Maxine DeHart, if not recusing, will vote for the rezoning for Khalistani employer Gurjit Singh Jhajj.
As usual the devil is in the details. Missed by this space was the FACT the entire Kelowna Springs property was assessed at $5.32 million with it's current zoning. The swapping of 9.1 acres of Industrial Land valued conservatively at $20m for slightly more than half of Kelowna Springs that Denciti can't develop anyway is an OUTRAGEOUS steal. The terms, conditions, and assumptions laid out by the City of Kelowna are preposterous.
The Tom Dyas sweetheart deal with Denciti reeks to absolute high heaven. It is robbery from citizens of Kelowna for the benefit of vested interests.
"November 14, 2025 News Release
A proposed land exchange agreement will protect Kelowna Springs Golf Course while creating new opportunities for economic development. This balanced approach by the City supports recreational amenities, preserves natural areas and supports economic development by creating industrially zoned employment lands.
The agreement involves exchanging approximately 60 acres of Denciti-owned property at 480 Penno Road, known as Kelowna Springs Golf Course, including 9 acres of trails, water features and open space, for 9.1 acres of City-owned industrial land at 3199 Hollywood Road North. Denciti will retain approximately 46 acres of land directly adjacent to the Golf Course, which will be subject to an application for industrial land use.
“This agreement secures Kelowna Springs Golf Course’s future as a distinctive 9-hole course with full-length holes, while preserving natural areas for the community,” said Derek Edstrom, Divisional Director Partnerships and Investments. "Kelowna Springs represents more than just a golf course—it’s a community asset. Our goal is to ensure that its legacy continues to serve residents and visitors alike, carefully balancing community recreation, environmental stewardship, and thoughtful City planning."
The agreement remains subject to several conditions and approvals before the exchange takes effect next Spring, including City Council’s decision on the Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment and rezoning application for the proposed Denciti industrial lands. This proposed exchange and rezoning has the potential to unlock more than 40 acres of industrial and employment lands, with a projected ~$4 million in Development Cost Charges and ~$1 million in additional annual tax revenue, which further supports Kelowna’s economic growth and the City’s commitment to strategic land use and community vibrancy.
As part of the redevelopment of the Kelowna Springs site, Denciti is committed to constructing a new indoor pickleball facility. This facility will enhance recreational opportunities for the community by providing a dedicated space for indoor pickleball enthusiasts. The City is considering options to ensure that the tenure of the new facility is protected for the long term.
Denciti is holding a public information session on November 20, 2025, at Kelowna Springs Golf Course Clubhouse from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Council is expected to consider the OCP and rezoning applications for the retained lands in early 2026, including a public hearing.
Should all conditions be met, the transfer of golf course lands to the City is expected to occur on March 30, 2026, followed by the transfer of City lands on January 1, 2028."
A steal in the tens of millions is underway in Kelowna. City staff is telling reporters that its a done deal and "is expected to be finalized on March 30."
This declaration despite the rezoning requiring a council vote. The Kelowna Springs/Denciti steal is the brainchild of Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas. In 2022 Dyas made an election promise to save the Kelowna Springs golf course, a hugely controversial pet project of the fully corrupt Sikh shill Colin Basran. Capitalists seek a zoning category change to I-2 'General Industrial'.
The city takes control of the 60 acre golf course property (which is unsuitable for development because of aquifers) at 480 Penno Road while transferring 9.1 acres of city-owned industrial land at 3199 Hollywood Road North.
The newly created lot was carved out of a municipal property that will become Kelowna's new bus barns. Conceived in 2021, approval came in 2024 and the land was removed from the ALR. It's a prime commercial location, close to Highway 97 and the University of B.C. ChatGPT tells us that on the low end, 10 acres of commercial land in Kelowna will be worth $20M. Assuming the high end is closer to $30M, the City of Kelowna is returning the entire purchase price of the Kelowna Springs purchase to Denciti. The golf course property was last assessed at $5.32 million.
Denciti retains it’s 46 acres of land adjacent to the golf course which remains subject to an application for industrial land use. The sweetheart Denciti deal clears the way for industrial development on the 9.1 acres it would acquire from the city as well. Why would the City give away lands that it might need for its bus depot expansion? Why did the City buy that land if it was going to then give it away less than a year later?
Perhaps folks should ask bum-like city manager Doug Gilchrist. (dgilchrist@kelowna.ca)
His salary increased from $264K in 2019 to $384K in 2024. Gilchrist’s pay package is just $5k less than the city manager’s salary in Vancouver, a city more than four times the size of Kelowna. “There’s vast differences about the breadth and depth of the services we provide.” he lied.
Stealing from citizens appears a big part of Doug Gilchrist's very expensive services.
Meanwhile, new zoning is coming for major business park development in Lake Country. The Lake Country Business Park, formerly known as the Glenmore Industrial Lands, will encompasses 200 acres stretching south along Glenmore Road and west along Okanagan Centre Road. Conservative estimates suggest there is already in excess of a 50 year supply of industrial land in the Okanagan. There is zero demand for more.
The City of Kelowna's own material points out the development is being built over a flood plain. The Flood Hazard Assessment concluded:
The proposed modification of the floodplain storage volume at the Property does have the potential to impact Mill Creek design flood water levels, the extent of which should be assessed as required by the Bylaw.
The combined presence of Simpson’s Pond, in addition to the Property’s flood plain, is estimated by AECOM (2022) to reduce the peak downstream discharge rate of Mill Creek by 1.5 m³/s (or approximately 6.5 % of the design flood flow). The combined floodplain storage of Simpson’s Pond and the Property occupy approximately 185,000 m² at the design flood water surface elevation, of which approximately 46% is within the Property. Considering that the proposed development would reduce the combined floodplain storage surface area by approximately 27%, the resulting change to the peak flow in Mill Creek would be significantly less than 1.5 m³/s and represents a minor impact to flow (less than a few percent).The potential for an increase in flow of less than 1.5 m³/s to create the required 3 m raise in the Mill Creek hydraulic grade line is considered near impossible to be achieved without significantly modifying the geometry of the main conveyance geometry of Mill Creek, which is not proposed.
Water flow loss is 6.5% and storage loss is over 27%. According to this material, the property occupies 85,000 square meter (21 acres) of the design flood water. The report fails to estimate cubic metre of water that 85,000 square area stores. If the average height stored is 1.5m, water volume stored is 127,500 cubic metres.
There is more. Here. and Here The appendices will not be included in the report to council.
Appendix A: Statement of Limitations;
Appendix B: Flood Hazard Assessment for City of Kelowna and RDCO;
Appendix C: Report for City of Kelowna – Mill Creek Channel Capacity Improvements; and
Appendix D: Conceptual Site Layout Plan
It's being disputed by Kelowna citizens at the event that Denciti supplied a survey to attendees at it's 'public forum' in November. "Denciti’s summary on the meeting is that “a strong majority of attendees supported” the plan. They’ve attached 13 survey responses, of which only 1 is negative."
What this rubbish is suggesting is more lying and subterfuge by the wicked screaming assholes at Denciti.
vgusak@denciti.ca
For consideration we have the report from the overpaid, easily lobbied Kelowna City staff. Here.
• Staff recommend support the proposal as it is consistent with
OCP policy related to supporting industrial development.
• The proposal strikes a very good balance between protecting
recreational amenities, preserving natural areas, and supporting
economic development.
NO rationale for the outrageous steal/land swap is being offered by well compensated bureaucrats. How one justifies Kelowna taxpayers swapping useless land for industrial meant for their bus depot for 1/20th of its value isn't touched.
A few things leap out. First is the stroke of genius that was Denciti buying the ACL land at 3030 Old Veron Road. That is envisioned as the location of the access road.
The purchase/attempted purchase of property close to that access road by the Sandhers and others for years is also shown to be a wise investment.
Propaganda also shows a pumphouse, required for the continuous fight against aquifers.
