My wife and I have been living off-grid in our Tiny Home for the past seven years, peacefully coexisting with nature on our 12-acre property in Peachland, BC. Our lifestyle has been sustainable, respectful of the environment and unobtrusive to our neighbors. However, three years ago we were fined by the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) for living in our Tiny Home. The RDCO bylaw states that even if you own your property, you cannot park an RV of any kind on it until a permanent dwelling is in place. We are now being fined and forced off our own land.

This bylaw is not only affecting us but also many others who choose to live sustainably in tiny homes or RVs on their own properties across Peachland and beyond. It's time we challenge this outdated regulation which does not reflect today's housing realities nor respect individual property rights.

We urge RDCO to reconsider this bylaw and allow residents who choose alternative housing options like tiny homes or RVs to live peacefully on their properties without fear of fines or eviction.
