Hi everyone! Just a quick message to say that I hope you are all taking care of yourselves and each other in these chaotic and trying times!

Please know that I will still be open for business, and keeping all appointments booked in. If your circumstances have changed, and you need to cancel just say the word. I totally understand!

The biggest concern is that everyone stays safe and accounted for.

Local folx: More construction!

💧 Work will begin this month to upgrade aging water infrastructure, helping to improve reliability and access to water for years to come.

🚧 Construction starts in the Wiltse neighbourhood with a watermain replacement. Crews will install a new feeder main along Dartmouth, Balsam and part of Evergreen.

This project also involves repaving and adding a new sidewalk on Balsam Ave.

The City is contacting residents, the school and daycares in the area directly to provide further details.

As part of Emergency Preparedness Week, the City will be conducting a test of the Penticton Alert (Voyent Alert) emergency notification system.

Date: May 7, 2026.
Time: 3:00 pm.

This will be a test only. No action is required.

The purpose of this test is to ensure our emergency notification system is working properly and to remind residents how important it is to receive timely information during an emergency. Penticton Alert is used to notify subscribers about critical situations such as severe weather, water issues, evacuations, and other public safety concerns. If you are already signed up for Penticton Alert, you may receive a test notification by phone, text message, email, or the mobile app, depending on your preferences.

Residents who are not yet registered are encouraged to sign up to receive emergency and community notifications. Registration is free and only takes a few minutes. To learn more about Penticton Alert or to subscribe, visit: www.penticton.ca/alerts.

Thank you for helping us keep our community informed and prepared.
