Love Local - Share your stories of community
Consultation has concluded
All throughout Penticton, we're seeing examples of the community coming together to show support for one another amid COVID-19.
From the 7 o'clock cheer to chalk art messages and hearts in windows, we want to make sure these expressions of gratitude are not forgotten.
This is a place for you to connect. Share your stories, ideas and feedback and help us document this time, while keeping spirits high.
The City will also share content here to keep everyone engaged.

A printed list somewhere of what restaurants/etc. are open would be incredibly useful. We WANT to support local!

Love the walk-through serving windows
Just wanted to say I love how some restaurants are offering these walk-up serving windows (like Brodo and the Wild Scallion). If possible, would love to see more of these around town.

Give 5 star reviews
One idea to help the businesses you love the most is to make sure you give them a 5-star review on Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, etc... Having owned a small business in the past, I know how it feels to be notified of those reviews. Not only does it help the business's profile but it makes you feel like it's all worthwhile!
