Consultation has concluded

The City is making progress towards addressing the child care shortage in Penticton. The Province and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) recently awarded a $2.9 million grant to replace the aging Edmonton Avenue Centre building in Kiwanis Park. The new facility will provide child care to 116 children and will be operated by OneSky Community Resources. Before this proposal proceeds, there are a number of activities that need to occur including consulting residents about the opportunity and the need to update the zoning of the park to reflect the child care use that occurs today. This site provides more information about the proposal and how you can get involved.

Council has approved the zoning amendment required to allow the daycare to be rebuilt in Kiwanis Park. Thank you to everyone who participated in the engagement activities.

    Council has given second reading to a bylaw to amend the zoning in a section of Kiwanis Park to allow for a portion of this property to continue to be used for childcare. The proposed amendment will now go to public hearing scheduled for Feb. 1 before Council considers giving the bylaw second and third reading. Please feel free to share any comments or questions you have in the meantime.
