Welcome home! | The official Penticton website is here

A neighbour of mine found an abandoned bike recently near Cherry Lane Mall. It's got a Project 529 sticker on it, but they aren't having any luck getting in contact with the info that they have on file. Probably the messages are getting caught in a spam filter or something. I'd love to help reunite this bike with it's owner, it's a dark purple Velosport Classique. If you're missing your bike, check your spam folder for messages from project 529, or get in touch here, and I'll try to facilitate this.

Hello!

My fiancé and I are getting married in July 2025 at the SS Sicamous. We are currently looking around online to find an officiant for the ceremony. We are hoping to have something a little different from the usual as we are having a pirate-themed wedding.

While we aren't expecting them to come dressed up as one (bonus points if they can though!) we do want someone who can have some fun with the ceremony and maybe be a bit goofy to match the vibe.

We would be grateful for any recommendations :)

I only know one person in this town (aside from chatting with a few people) and I just found out they have plans tomorrow. Looking to make some friends and get to know Penticton. What's everyone doing? I'm 45f and not looking to hook up

Here for the weekend, any ideas as what to do where to go solo? Here for work just wanna be social as opposed to laying around

In town to see if moving here is a good option for me and the one person I know, is busy tonight so I'm on my own for dinner. Where are the best places?

Does anyone in town sell dry herb vapes?

Letting drug advocates dunk on cops for actually doing their job? F**k right off, CBC.

Had someone leave a note in our mail box about cleaning the yard and the unlimited yard waste day coming up. I do t have any real issues about what people think about how it looks but... Is there any issues in terms of by laws, and possibly landlords, if I leave my leaves in the yard until spring?

My understanding it is better for hibernating bugs and the likes to leave them. Ontop of that they yard is very sandy and so it's near impossible to keep anything living through the summer once the heat and sun really hit us, so I was thinking whatever gets degraded during winter can be "fertilizer" for the yard.

I do a full clean up in spring and maintain the yard through the rest of the year, so this was a bit of a suprise.

Hey everyone. In one week me and my friend are moving to penticton from New Zealand, we are both 18 year old guys coming for the snow season. We have jobs at Apex mountain and accommodation in penticton. Before we arrive, is there any tips / local knowledge we should know or that could help? Appreciate it :)

I am going to visit family in a small town that is between Edson and Rocky Mountain house on Friday. Which route is less treacherous during the winter, the 5 through jasper or going through Banff? They’re roughly the same time-wise…

Best place to watch the fight tonight?

Any decent dart player's in town ?

Anyone’s kid lose an older version iPhone recently on the way to school? If you can describe it and its unique case, will arrange drop off.

Hey everyone!

Has anyone been having issues recently with online order package delivery? I know the strike is looming for Canada Post but it's a different company that's been delivering my parcels. Had the same guy for years but recently it's someone different...

I heard they had a rental van stolen with customers mail in it

Anyone have the same experience?

We have been very relaxed about political discussions in the run up to the provincial and US federal elections but now they are over and there are much more appropriate subs for discussions about them. Unless the post is specific to a decision or policy directly affecting Penticton it will be removed.

I’m hoping someone can help direct me to some assistance for a family member with a medical situation. I realize there is a wait for doctors, I’m looking for options as are already on the list. Needing referrals for a female for gyno and endocrinologist as well as an ultrasound and perhaps some other diagnostic exams. Have tried the walk in and the doctor there was truly awful, reading her reviews I’m shocked she’s still practicing. Are there any female focused health clinics/nurse practitioners or should we go and sit it out in emergency and hope the physician there can order tests and make referrals?

I’m having my road test in Penticton in a few days, however I’m mostly unfamiliar with the roads as I live in Vernon. Any tips?

Seems a ton of negatives being mentioned and discussed on various SM platforms about our great little city. And everyone that goes negative, feeling that's these problems and issues are limited to Penticton. After a summer and fall of traveling across the western provinces. I've seen it everywhere. From larger cities, to hamlets of less than 500 people.

So what do you like most of our little heaven on earth?

Here vacationing and just wanted to say your beer, people, and food are great!! Canadian border guard asked why I wanted to come here for vacation.. can believe it wasn’t obvious. Stay classy penticton! You’re good people!

Penticton Herald announced on the front page today they're cutting back to 3 papers a week - Wednesday, Friday, Saturday. Sad day for the community. But does anyone even care?

In the latest season, the contestants spent some time in the Okanagan. In Penticton at the Sicamous and The Book Shop. At Area 27 Motorsports Park and Phantom Creek Estates in Oliver. At the Dirty Laundry in Summerland. And at Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre in Osoyoos.

Just a curious, general post if anyone here saw them filming at all or has any tidbits to share?

We have a guest house/carriage house on our new (to us) property. We are trying to decide what the best route is to rent it out.

We're up in Wiltse, so wondering if there's an actual market for tourists to stay up here as we're not at the lake? Is Air BNB worth it?

Has anyone rented via the Travel Nurses site for longer term rentals? Is there a market for here?

We're hesitant to do long term renting, as we want the flexibility for friends and family, but also conscious we want a semi-regular income from it.
