We acknowledge that, as a district municipality, we are conducting our business on the unceded territory of squilx"/syilx (Okanagan) peoples. As a Council, we recognize the importance of doing our best to build respectful relationships that contribute to stewarding the land and waters in the community with integrity and consideration for future generations.
The District of Lake Country was incorporated in May 1995, but our history goes back to the late 1800's. Learn more about Lake Country's four wards: Carr's Landing, Okanagan Centre, Oyama and Winfield.
