The District of Coldstream handles planning and zoning, building permits and inspections, business licences, bylaw compliance, roads and drainage, parks, its sewer system and the Coldstream and Lavington fire departments. It does not collect garbage; residents hire a private contractor (curbside recycling is through Recycle BC). The RDNO runs dog licensing and dog control, Greater Vernon Water and regional solid waste facilities, and the Vernon/North Okanagan RCMP provides policing. Many things people think of as "district" matters, like marriage licences, health cards and driver's licences, are provincial.
