Full-time staff members at the City of Kelowna will all keep their jobs 91裸聊视频� at least for the time being.

The city is continuing to seek ways to trim costs and tighten its belt in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the first remedies was the layoffs of 65 permanent part-time staff in the city91裸聊视频檚 recreation department.

But as the economic fallout continues, staff could see their jobs on the line, according to Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran.

Lake Country Mayor James Baker and Peachland Mayor Cindy Fortin both said their municipalities don91裸聊视频檛 have excess people to lay off.
