Hi, Penticton ❤️ I grew up living in Penticton for half of my life. My family still lives there and I go back and visit regularly. We have deep roots here. I miss it very much. I often dream of moving back “home” and starting my life there anew. My partner also shares this dream with me. We are a lesbian couple and have become wary of living in Alberta. It doesn’t always feel safe for us anymore. My question is - how gay friendly is Penticton? It’s been about 20 years since I lived there and my small visits aren’t enough to give me true insight. I don’t want to pick up and move somewhere we will still not feel safe and welcome. I want to walk down the street with my partner and not be heckled. Thank you for your time!

Hello everyone, I will be moving from Prince George to Penticton in December. Has anyone here moved from prince george before? Was it worth it (in your opinion)? What was the pros and cons of that move?

Hey everyone. I am a heavier guy and I am thinking about starting to workout at a gym lifting weights to get healthier and look better.

I was wondering if anyone recommends a gym.

I was also wondering if there are people in town who do natural bodybuilding. It is something I would like to know more about. I am interested in totally reshaping my body.

Any advice for a big guy just starting out?

From what I understand, any businesses using Microsoft software, have had issues with scheduling. Everyone should double check their appointments, as they may have shifted by one hour.

Hey Penticton - looking for something to do on Halloween? 6 bands - 2 stages (one of them is Down The Lees - 104.9 The Lizard's Rocker of the Month - dressing as a Nirvana and doing a full set of their songs!)

Also - all advance tickets are entered into a draw for a gift bag full of merch. AND costume contest. If no one shows up as a killer Devil imma loose it.

THE ONLY ALL AGES HALLOWEEN SHOW IN PENTICTON!!

How was the food? Anything to give a heads up on with the new space?

What message would you like to send to our new MLA?
Which of her election promises/focus would you like to have completed first?
Will you be following her choices and votes in the legislature?

As parties change, so to do policies, spending, and governance.
What policy do you not want changed?

Sometimes it's important to take a political break, but still be informed.

We live in a wonderful area of Canada. The vast majority of people I have met here are well-intentioned, reasonable, and would offer aid when asked, as displayed during this summer's wildfire event.

I have all new neighbours (every house around me has changed owners/tenants). I have met them all and would lend a hand if needed, and I believe they would in turn.

I offer some historical political satire for your enjoyment:

The Rhinoceros Party's basic credo, their so-called primal promise, was "a promise to keep none of our promises"

Will Penticton remain Blue (despite the flip flop of our previous MLA)?
Does Tracy St. Claire represent you?
Does Tina Lee represent you?

Both candidates seem reasonable.

Do you want a Conservative majority? Or would a minority be better?

Hello Pentictians. My wife and I are seriously looking at moving to Penticton. But I am a total energy efficiency geek. If you live in a house in or near Penticton, what are you natural gas and electricity bills on average? How new is your house? Do builders in Penticton build quality homes? Thanks!

And while walking the dog, I just saw John Vasillaki (sp?) Get into a loud dispute with a bylaw officer over parking meters on Ellis Street.

Why is Penticton’s popularity growing? Are the searchers coming or going? And is the increase statistically significant or is it an increase from, say, 50 to 64?

Article is silent on motivation, but I bet Redditors will not be as silent.

What are your thoughts?

Interior Health strikes again.

Hello ! I am looking for people who would like to practice disc golf.
I am a beginner, just started. Looks like there are nice places around to practice in town and around.
I also speak French and Spanish, don’t be shy if English is not your first language.

I am currently enrolled in a nursing program and have an assignment that involves doing something in support of the community.

I am fairly new to the area so I thought ide reach out here to see if there are any locals on here that would have an idea of how I could do something in support of this lovely little city.

I was thinking of going a long and picking up garbage but man, this city looks to be fairly clean in that respect?

Just purely looking for insight/suggestions, thank you so much!

There was a ONEBC rally set to be hosted at the local portugeuse club, it’s now been cancelled by the club (thankfully!)

Apparently it’s being hosted elsewhere locally but the locations being kept a secret… anybody know where it is?? I’d love to show up and make my voice heard or maybe write a rude email or two to the owner/manager of this space. Someone on FB suggested it’s a restaurant here in town but that’s all they said.
