Firehall Feasibility Study
The District is inviting proposals from qualified firms interested in preparing a Firehall Feasibility Study that would provide an in-depth analysis of the feasibility of building a new fire hall or renovating the existing fire hall for the District of Sicamous.
The Sicamous Fire Dept. is currently housed in a 45-year-old building that was designed as a firehall to house the existing apparatus. The Firehall is in a residential area near a school. An addition was built to house the Ladder truck in the year 2000. It is currently occupied by 2 pumper trucks, a Tender and a Ladder truck and an antique fire truck. One bay is utilized by the Rescue Society and houses one of its two rescue trucks.
There is also a Structure Protection Trailer that is parked outside and a Side by Side parked in another building. This study will evaluate the available options to the District including estimated costs associated with the different options. It would also evaluate the possibility of satellite firehalls in new development areas.

active transportation network Plan
The District of Sicamous (DOS) is requesting Proposals from qualified consulting firms to prepare a Active Transportation Network Plan.
The Active Transportation Network Plan will establish a set of strategies to improve options for biking, walking, and active transportation within Sicamous.
The Plan should detail traffic flow improvements and future trail network and infrastructure upgrades to improve safety and operational efficiencies.
The plan should focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving active transportation within the District by promoting an active lifestyle and trailhead improvements. The Plan will recommend the infrastructure, policies and educational initiatives to enable and encourage walking and cycling as preferred modes of transportation within and through the community, particularly in line with the economic developmental initiatives of the OCP and in line with future considerations such as the Bruhn Bridge upgrade, the Rail Trail, and a shared use bridge over the Mara Lake Narrows. Active transportation safety is a project priority. In addition, stakeholder and public engagement is a key component of the Plan.
