Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality will host community members for a public engagement session focused on the municipality’s proposed Short-Term Nightly Rental Policy Oct. 16, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Sun Peaks Centre.

The session will focus on the policy changes, which aim to address local housing concerns and balance tourism with resident needs. Municipal staff will present recommendations and seek input from residents, property owners and business stakeholders before finalizing the policy.

For those unable to attend in person, the event will also be accessible via Zoom. Participants will have the chance to ask questions and share feedback directly.

Community members with questions are encouraged to contact Demetri Hofer, director of planning and community services, at planner@sunpeaksmunicipality.ca.  Additional details are available on the municipality’s website

Aibiike Alymova enjoyed telling stories her whole life, though she first dreamed of a career in film directing, she found herself in Kamloops, pursuing a journalism degree. 

Her journey in journalism started in 2021, when she moved from Kyrgyzstan to pursue her education. For the first two years, she walked past the office for Thompson Rivers University’s student newspaper, The Omega and pull the doorknob, but every time it would be locked. In her third year, she heard The Omega was back, applied for the sports editor position and got it. She worked closely with the TRU WolfPack and the Kamloops Blazers, learning the basics of journalism. 

Growing up in Kyrgyzstan, Aibiike started skiing when she was a kid and she’s looking forward to experiencing winter at the resort. She is not only excited about the colder seasons, but also eager to see what summer at Sun Peaks has to offer and get involved in the community all year round.
