Maxine DeHart is a Kelowna councillor. Her LinkedIn reveals she has spent the past 30 years as Director of Sales and Marketing at the Ramada Hotel and Conference Centre in Kelowna. In 2023 it was sold for $32m to KTF heavyweight Gurjit Singh Jhajj and Durali Properties. 2850 Old Vernon Road is 20 acres and owned by Gurjit Singh Jhajj. Mortgage is held by Prospera Credit Union. It changed hands in 2020 for $2.2m. It is rented by an equestrian group. Cherry trees were planted, but died. Ground was then planted in strawberries, which were abandoned. It appears a holding property only. DeHart has correctly stepped away from any decisions involving Kelowna Springs.

On April 2, 2025 Denciti Development unveiled its evil plans for the Kelowna Springs property. Denciti rejected Kelowna's attempt to buy the golf course in late 2024. The acquistion of 3030 (and 3330 by Suhkdev Sandher) is adjacent to their newly carved out industrial park.
Denciti purchased the 480 Penno Road site in Feb 2023 for something north of $30m. Some ground is unsuitable for development due to aquifers which require expensive control. The newly acquired ground is free of that burden. The touted industrial park of 35 acres is a fraction of what the Denciti plan actually is.
The zoning change to industrial from recreational was spearheaded by disgraced Sikh, ex-mayor Colin Basran. There was severe public backlash after the rezone. Outraged Kelowna citizens turfed Basran and installed Dyas by a 3 to 1 margin. Basran's pet project zoning was reversed by council unanimously. Dyas and others like Mohini Singh will be burned in effigy if their colours change.

Shelf company 1447916 B.C. Ltd. changed its name to 3030 Old Vernon Road Holdings Dec 7, 2023 and the address is that of Denciti Development. Here. (gfawley@denciti.ca, vgusak@denciti.ca, dfawley@denciti.ca )
The Denciti redevelopment can still go ahead if council votes to approve it. Dencity purchased the adjacent 60.7 acres of 3030 Old Vernon Road, which is zoned A1 agricultural. Any attempts to develop that will include removal of the ground from the ALR. The Sandher plant (3231 Old Vernon Road) is directly across the street, and the 87 acre property beside 3030 (3330 Old Vernon Road) was purchased by Sukhdev Singh Sandher for $9.85m. This over asking price and on a BMO mortgage.

This conspiracy theory reeks to high heaven. Kelowna city council is corrupt and most know it is a puppet of the Sandher crime family i.e. Mohini Singh and mayor Tom Dyas. It very surely appears Sinaloa Cartel money is at work again. In July 2022 Dyas got himself elected with "Tom Dyas says he’ll fight to save Kelowna Springs if elected." That rubbish conflicts with the wishes and desires of his master SINCE being elected. Kelowna residents are urged to remind Dyas of his bullshit BEFORE the council meeting slated for this steal.(tdyas@kelowna.ca)
It's fall 2024, and the Sandhers were nailed again for illegally dumping their plant waste into a Kelowna ditch.
A meeting was arranged between Gurtaj Sandher, mayor Dyas, and Mohini Singh. The meeting was on the Sandher's new $1m Regal 42 FXO yacht. The cost to the Sandhers for their City of Kelowna permit to dump plant waste into a manhole was a one-time fee of $100.
Documents outlining trucking of Sandher waste water Here and Here. There was no time limit spelled out, and no benefit to Kelowna taxpayers.
The Sandher yacht was moored at Kelowna Yacht Club and that meeting was being watched. Dyas announced taxpayers would support Sandhers with their 7+ years of dumping illegally into a Kelowna ditch.
After being elected, Dyas increased salaries 35% and punished those who objected. Dyas stole an instant 15% pay hike to over $145k per year.
There's another issue important to the Sandhers and that's approval of the Denciti 'Kelowna Springs' development. The council vote on that is approaching, and despite getting elected promising to halt Kelowna Springs, it's expected Dyas will give his full support to that steal too. mayorandcouncil@kelowna.ca
