Osoyoos Councillor Poturica Seeks Mayoral Position Amid Infrastructure Challenges

Zachary Poturica, the incumbent councillor in Osoyoos, is entering the mayoral race with a focus on completing ongoing infrastructure projects and addressing recent policy changes. He argues that despite initial challenges, the town has now established itself as better prepared to tackle these issues.

Poturica highlights several key areas of concern: aging roads, sidewalks, and buildings, along with Highway 3 and pedestrian safety concerns. These issues have necessitated significant investment in infrastructure upgrades, including water and wastewater systems. He also emphasizes that securing provincial funding for such projects has become increasingly competitive among Interior communities.
