Live Music in the Plaza with Chayce Kennedy
2026-06-13 15:00 - 17:00 | District Wine Village, 100 Enterprise Way British Columbia Oliver V0H 1T0 Canada, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H 1T0, Canada
Saturday | June 13 | 3pm – 5pm

In the last two years, Chayce has written over a hundred songs, and has just released her fifth single, “Dance Again,” on all major platforms. Having worked with Grammy award-winning producer Brian West (known for his work with Sia, Maroon 5, Andy Grammer, and Nelly Furtado just to name a few) and Juno award-winning producer Ryan Stewart (Carley Rae Jepson, Jocelyn Alice, Carys, and Tyler Shaw), Chayce is using these opportunities to move her musical creativity forward. During the 2022 hot summer months, Chayce performed in front of thousands of concert attendees, performing 16 solo events, and even more with her band. Her fan base continues to grow, through messages of encouragement, engagement, and empowerment. One core belief that Chayce frequently repeats to others is, “your own value is not determined by what others might think of you”. Against the confusing and confounding messages found within the ubiquitous social media machine, the very personal and empowering messages within Chayce’s music will continue to resonate with listeners, especially young women struggling to discover and enjoy their own unique identity and purpose.

JAZZ SABBATH

Jazz Sabbath is a jazz trio from Great Britain that plays new jazz arrangements of Black Sabbath songs. Although the band presents itself as a jazz trio founded in 1968 and the original authors of the tracks later made famous by Black Sabbath.

Helmed by 2026 Grammy-winning pianist Adam Wakeman (keys Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne since 2004), Jazz Sabbath explores the boundaries between jazz and the songs that defined heavy metal, revisiting existing jazz riffs and discovering new ones.

Whether or not you choose to believe their wild backstory, with three albums high in the Billboard Jazz Charts, sold-out shows worldwide, and rave reviews in both jazz and rock media, Jazz Sabbath is quickly making its way (back) to the top of the jazz scene.

Official Community Plan OPEN HOUSE
2026-06-09 16:00 - 19:00 | Oliver Community Park, 6359 Park Drive British Columbia Oliver V0H 1T0 Canada, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H 1T0, Canada
What is an Official Community Plan (OCP)?

The Official Community Plan is the Town of Oliver’s long-term guiding policy document, required by BC’s Local Government Act. It lays out a long-term vision for land use, transportation, housing, the environment, services, parks, heritage, and more. Once Council adopts it, all bylaws and municipal decisions must align with the OCP.

Why are we updating the OCP?

The current OCP was adopted in 2017, so now is the time to update it to reflect new legislation and community priorities. In 2023, the Provincial Government enacted new legislation that requires all BC municipalities to ensure their OCPs and zoning bylaws allow sufficient housing capacity—as identified through a Housing Needs Report—and align with updated requirements by December 31, 2025.

Updating now also allows us to refresh our policies to reflect changes in community values, demographics, economic and environmental context, and ensure alignment with other Town strategies (e.g., Housing Needs, Energy & Emissions, Park Land, Social Development).

What does the update include?

Phase 1 focused on meeting new provincial requirements under recent legislation, including ensuring the OCP includes enough housing capacity for the next 20 years and that the OCP and zoning are aligned to support that growth. It covers technical analysis, updated housing data, and foundational policy updates.

Phase 2 builds on Phase 1 with a more comprehensive refresh of the OCP. It will explore broader community priorities—such as climate resilience, transportation, and public spaces—in greater depth.

How to Participate

Contact Us: planning@oliver.ca or 250-485-6200

Planning Department staff are available to answer questions about the process, timelines, and how feedback will be integrated into the OCP.
