In case you missed it, effective January 1, 2026, speculation and vacancy tax rates have increased, with the largest impact falling on foreign owners and untaxed worldwide earners. While the structure of the tax remains the same, the rates have increased.

2025 is in the books, and what a year it was! Thanks to our dedicated Touchstone team and amazing clients we were able to donate and sponsor more than $100,000 into the community including animal rescue and welfare, food banks, children’s teams, and community support charities.

Looking ahead to 2026, Touchstone is so excited to welcome a new group of lawyers and staff to the team and expand the services we offer to include litigation and aboriginal land development. Make sure to visit the profiles of our newest lawyers Marty Wales, David Polley, and Katie Doherty to learn about them and the services they bring to the firm!

And when you do come to visit us at the office, turn left at the top of the stairs/out of the elevator to find our new and improved client reception area. Sherrilynn and Holly can not wait to welcome you to our recently expanded office space!

Touchstone Law Group LLP wishes you all a happy and prosperous 2026, and thanks you so much for your continued support.

Constantly amazed by the number of homes and animals the Lend A Paw Pet Food Foundation crew can help all year long. Proud to be able to support the great work they do!! THANK YOU Lend A Paw team!

🐾 From all of us at Lend A Paw Pet Food Foundation — thank you, Touchstone Law Group LLP🐾🎄

This season, your generosity helped turn worry into relief and empty bowls into full ones. Because of Una, Shaun, and the incredible Touchstone Law Group LLP team, pets across the Okanagan were kept fed, families felt supported, and the holidays were filled with more tail wags, happy paws, and peaceful moments at home.

Your support reminds us what this community is capable of when compassion leads the way. It’s donors like you who make it possible for us to keep showing up — delivering food, dignity, and hope to the pets and people who need it most.

🐾 Your impact at a glance:
Thanks to community champions like Touchstone, in 2025 we supported 2,000+ households, helping feed over 2,500 dogs and 2,000 cats across the Okanagan — one delivery, one family, one full bowl at a time.

Thank you for lending a paw when it mattered most. We’re so grateful to have you as part of our pack.

Wishing you a Christmas filled with cozy cuddles, jingling tags, and hearts as full as the bowls you helped fill. 🎄🐶🐱

With heartfelt thanks,

Lend A Paw Pet Food Foundation 🐾

Another hard working organization we were able to support this year! Major kudos to Belinda and the BC Horse Angels crew for being so dedicated to this herd of rescue horses 🐴

Teddy has a big announcement! 📣 Thanks to Una and Touchstone Law, all the bills up to December 16th were paid off. THANK YOU isn’t enough! ❤️❤️❤️ 🎁🎅🎄🦌🌟

And thanks to many more generous donors, we’re only $300 short for the last load of hay.

I can’t say what a relief this has been. Thank you all so much. 🙏🤗

We are so proud to be able to financially support so many great causes and provide funds to help organizations where we can see the boots on the ground doing so much good every day!

Our team, our clients and our communities make this all possible so a big THANK YOU to them for letting us be able to help organizations like Angel's Animal Rescue - Merritt, BC 🐶🐕

We would like to give a big thank you and tail wag🐾 to one of our corporate donors Touchstone Law Group . Their generous donation will help us with vet bills and keeping our rescue dogs warm with the coming cold. The kindness of supporters like Touchstone Law Group makes a real difference in the lives of our rescue animals!💞

Last year, Touchstone Law Group chose to give back to our community in lieu of Christmas cards and holiday baskets—and we’re proud to continue that tradition this year. 🐾

We wouldn’t be able to do this without your continued trust in us on your legal journeys, and for that we THANK YOU.

This year we’ve decided to support the following local organizations:

Lend A Paw
Paws it Forward
Okanagan Humane Society

We encourage you to learn more about these organizations and the great work they do in our community.

Merry Christmas 🎄

You come and go, you come and go.

When purchasing commercial real estate that is tenant-occupied, particularly if the new owner intends to take over the existing leases, there are several key considerations a prospective buyer should address. One of the first steps is to obtain and review copies of the existing leases with the assistance of legal counsel. This ensures that the purchaser is fully aware of any unique clauses or provisions within the leases that could affect their use and enjoyment of the property.
