KVR Trail advances Penticton’s goals for livable neighbourhoods, active transportation, and place-based development. The corridor is a legacy project that blends movement, memory, and meaning into a unified experience for all.”

Now, we’d love your input on additional features that would make your trail experience even more enjoyable – and let us know what excites you most!
