Gather up any old, unused tires stacked up around your property and recycle them for free. In the process you’ll rid your home of some prime mosquito breeding habitat.
Once again, the Regional District of Central Okanagan and Tire Stewardship BC have teamed up to provide a one-stop tire drop-off event for any old vehicle tires with or without rims.
Saturday, September 15th
10:00 am – 3:00 pm
Okanagan College
Parking Lot #17 (off West Campus Road)
1000 KLO Road, Kelowna
Just a small amount of water inside old tires sitting around your property provides the perfect breeding ground for mosquito larvae. By dropping off any unwanted tires, you’ll remove opportunities for mosquitoes to reproduce around your home.
Tire Stewardship BC is a not-for-profit society that manages BC’s tire recycling program. Eco fees paid by consumers purchasing tires are used to pay for transporting and recycling scrap tires in environmentally responsible ways rather than having them take up space in landfills. For information on programs offered by Tire Stewardship BC visit www.tsbc.ca.
There are excellent resources available to help you and your family during the mosquito season. Visit the Mosquito Control page on the Regional District website regionaldistrict.com/mosquitoes for information about the program.

Our June ‘Forest Therapy Sessions’ were so successful we’re offering them again this fall! This program is a great way to explore mindfulness and experience the natural beauty of some of our parks!
A certified facilitator will guide participants in each session using concepts of forest bathing or shinrin-yoku, a cornerstone of preventative healthcare and healing in Japan. Learning how to be more mindful in nature can help you can decompress, slow down and become more self-aware.
These walks in three different parks run on three Saturdays mornings between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm and require pre-registration at a cost of $30 for all three sessions or $15 for individual walks.
There’s a maximum of ten people for each walk. To register please drop in to the Environmental Education Centre for the Okanagan in Mission Creek Regional Park at Springfield and Durnin Roads or email eeco@cord.bc.ca or phone 250-469-6140.
