Al present the govern- ment is paying 99 per cent of the fee schedule, and this percentage is negotlated from lime to time, as the fee schedule changes.

These priests had come to establish the first permanent white settlement in the area, a Christian mission deep in the heart of British Columbia, On a site in the woods, they built a chureh, a school, mission house and a barn, and wet to work cultivating the soil. By 1863, a traveller noted, they produced “wheat 1,000 bushels, barley and cats 200 bushels, potatoes 200 bushels, a few hogs and sheep and some good tobacco.” m For 49 years, the brothers ran thelr farm, kept a record of the births, deaths and mar. riages in the area and provided for the spiritual welfare of their parishioners. But in 1902, the mission’ was closed and. the lands were sold. to’ private interests, As the centennial of its founding approached, only the ruins of the . buildings marked the mission site, In 1958, the Knights of Columbus and the Okanagan Historical Soclety began a joint project to restore the mission of Mary Immaculate: Conception, commonly known as the Father Pandosy ‘Mission’ after its: founder, Father Charles Pan- dosy. 3 Now there are eight build. ings on the two-acre site at the limit. of Kelowna’s southern suburbs, ‘The | four - original buildings have been restored, 8 nail-free fence has-been built around the property and four old buildings have been moved from other sites near Kelowna.
