New provincial funding will help enhance pandemic-related safety protocols at a South Okanagan campground that houses seasonal workers.
The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) says it has received $60,000 from the Ministry of Agriculture to continue coordinating COVID-19 precautions at the Loose Bay Campground near Oliver.
The campground is used by domestic seasonal workers for several months at a time while they work on farms and in orchards. In a news release issued Friday morning, the RDOS stated that the funding will help cover costs associated with hiring a COVID-19 coordinator and cleaning and hygiene measures.
