Blasting is expected to resume during the first week of 2019 as part of the residential subdivision development in the Upper Vineyard Estates area.

The City of West Kelowna has issued the blasting permit to T & A rockworks to allow the continuation of works approved under a previous blasting permit. Works are expected to begin in early January 2019.
