Thank You to Mission Hill Wineries!
A big thank you to Mission Hill Wineries (the Mission Group) for repairing the damaged chain link fence along Quail Ridge Boulevard as you enter the community. (Mission Hill owns the ALR land that the fence is on).
YLW Poised to Lift Off
An on-site COVID-19 screening program is now publicly available for departing passengers at Kelowna International Airport (YLW). The testing initiative started privately in March for LNG Canada project workers departing from YLW to Northwest Regional Airport (YXT) in Terrace, B.C. and is now being rolled out for broader public use.
Asymptomatic passengers who require a negative test prior to international travel can pre-book a fee-based COVID-19 test at the modular clinic and laboratory space that has been set up at the south end of the terminal building adjacent to the valet parking booth and long-term parking lot. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests will be offered at $240 with results available within 24 to 48 hours and rapid antigen tests will be offered at $120 with results available within 30 minutes.
“We have seen a tremendous commitment from airlines to return air service to our region. Ensuring we can keep those who are traveling for essential reasons safe by offering COVID-19 testing is an important step in the safe return to air travel and in our regional economic recovery,” said Sam Samaddar, Airport Director.
To book an appointment visit whitecapcovidtesting.com or call 604-966-3777. The testing facility operates 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
