RDOS Overview video | services, taxation, governance

Regional districts provide rural residents, those living in unincorporated communities outside municipalities with an effective form of local government. Regional districts also represent municipal residents on regional issues such as emergency planning, mosquito control, regional trails and the solid waste management plan.

The RDOS covers a large geographic area from Manning Park to the west, bordering Peachland to the north, Anarchist Mountain to the east, and the United States border to the south.  Just under 90,000 people live within the RDOS. That includes residents of the six member municipalities; Summerland, Penticton, Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos, and Princeton.
