The Okanagan Gondola project has cleared another hurdle in its quest for construction.

The multi-million dollar project, originally conceived in 2022, will see a gondola built 1,600 feet above Kalamalka Lake, near Bailey Road across from the Okanagan Rail Trail.

The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) board of directors passed unanimously a zoning amendment and development variance permit for the gondola on Wednesday, April 17. The permit was to waive the requirement to pave a portion of the driveway aisle and to increase the distance of parking spaces.

The gondola is being developed by Ridge North America, which will feature a family friendly zone with tree houses, infant entertainment areas, and a treetop challenge course.

鈥淔inal adoption marks the end of one chapter, and the exhilarating beginning of another as we begin construction and bring this vision to life,鈥 said the vice-president of operations at Ridge North America, Rav Soomal.

The next step is physical construction, although a date has not yet been announced for ground to break.
