We are pleased to announce that the Village of Keremeos was honored with the SILGA Community Excellence Award for Social Responsibility for the Village’s work in reconciliation initiatives.  

The Village was nominated for the “Every Child Matters” crosswalk that connects Municipal Hall to Memorial Park.    The award was presented to the Mayor at the annual convention of SILGA earlier this month.

The Southern Interior Local Government Association (SILGA) is comprised of elected officials from 37 cities, towns, villages, districts and regional districts in South Central BC.  Every year awards are handed out to promote the environmental, social, and economic well being of member communities and to share ideas and best practices throughout the SILGA area.

Mayor and Council pose with the award infront of the Every Child Matters Crosswalk.  From left to right:  Councillor Evans, Mayor Wiebe, Councillor Henderson, Councillor Holley, and Councillor Elliott.

The next meeting of council will take place on Monday, May 5, 2025 at 4:30pm in the Council Chambers, 702 4th Street, Keremeos.
