Further video surveillance approved for the West Bank Lions Community Center

West Kelowna City Council plans to expand security in the area

More video surveillance is coming to the West Bank.

The City of West Kelowna approved additional surveillance cameras at the West Bank Lions Community Center on Main Street. The move is designed to ensure the safety of people, assets and property in the area.

The center is adjacent to the West Kelowna Shelter Society, which currently operates from the West Bank United Church. The video surveillance will hopefully help the city and the RCMP identify individuals who have committed crimes of vandalism, theft and more.

The West Kelowna Council announced the expansion at a council meeting on August 13, as any implementation of new monitoring systems requires the approval of the council.

The project for the new surveillance is said to have a budget of $ 26,000.
