Quick answer
For gas fitting in Lake Country, call Anderson Plumbing and Gas Fitting at (250) 859-3548. Gas permits in the District come from Technical Safety BC, not the District office, and we pull them ourselves as a licensed gas contractor (LGA0212697).
Permits catch people out here. The District of Lake Country issues building and plumbing permits, but not gas permits. Gas permits here come from Technical Safety BC. In our area only the City of Kelowna issues its own natural gas permits. A new line to a range, BBQ, fire table or fireplace is permitted through Technical Safety BC, and we pull that permit under our licence (LGA0212697) and can put the permit number on your invoice.
The age of the house shapes the job. Oyama has the oldest housing in Lake Country, and in an older home the gas piping was often sized for a furnace and water heater alone, so a new appliance may need a new branch or a larger run. Much of Winfield and Okanagan Centre is newer, and there the request is more often an outdoor line for a BBQ or fire table. Either way, we add up every appliance that can run at the same time, size the piping for it, pressure-test, then connect and check each appliance.

Questions, answered
Does the District of Lake Country issue gas permits?
No. Building and plumbing permits go through the District office. Gas permits here come from Technical Safety BC. In our area only the City of Kelowna issues its own natural gas permits. We hold the gas contractor licence (LGA0212697) and take out the permit for each job ourselves.
Can the gas piping in my older Oyama home handle another appliance?
Often, but it depends on the pipe sizes and what is already connected. We total every appliance that can run at once and tell you whether the existing line can carry it, or needs a larger run, before we quote.
Can you run gas to a fire table on my deck?
Yes. We run a permanent natural-gas line with its own shut-off, routed and protected for where the table sits, under a Technical Safety BC permit.
