On November 6, 2025, IIBEC sent a letter to the city of West Kelowna highlighting key recommendations for the Jim Lind Arena Roof Replacement project. The letter emphasizes the importance of independent professional oversight and open, competitive bidding to protect public interests and ensure transparency. IIBEC noted that the project appeared to proceed without independent design involvement and relied on a single-source approach, which can increase costs, limit competition, and create conflicts of interest.
By adopting these standards, the city can reduce risk, enhance transparency, and safeguard both project performance and public trust. IIBEC has offered to discuss these recommendations further and to support efforts to strengthen procurement.
