A letter carrier, a bar bouncer, and now, a bylaw officer: Blake Pfannenschmidt has done all three. The latter position is what he’s landed here in Peachland, and you’ve probably seen him by now, walking up and down Beach Ave., ...
Something stinks at the Peachland View. As you clear whatever assumptions come your way because of that statement, I’ll clarify: On Sunday, when I opened the front door to our little house/office, I was greeted with an alarm and a ...
Death. It happens to all of us sooner or later, whether we want to face it or not. And while it seems we can summon helpers for any stage of life – from doulas and midwives at birth, to counsellors ...
She’s the one who carried you, cried for you (maybe she still does), and really, no one else will ever care for you quite like a mom. We don’t all have one right now – some moms are no longer ...
We hear about it on local Facebook groups, events are planned around cleaning it up, and for pretty much all of us, nothing ruins a beautiful day in in the backcountry like encountering a big pile of garbage. And it’s ...
It was a rainy, dreary Saturday morning, and the Peachland Museum was my first stop on this busy weekend work day. I packed up my camera and notebook, locked the View’s front door, and left on foot, using my hood ...

When you visit a place four times in a year, you kind of get the clue that it’s where you want to be. For Joey Byatt, Peachland has always been a special place. But it was still a jump, moving ...
It seems like a bad dream now, but all Robyn Kenefick needs to do is look out the window of her Robinson Pl. home, and she remembers one of the scariest moments of her life. A quiet Friday night watching ...
