PENTICTON – The Naramata Centre will be opening this summer.

The Naramata Centre Society Board announced the decision in their latest newsletter.

Between May 28 and Oct. 15, the public can rent accommodations or space in the campground for a week at a time, according to the newsletter.

The centre closed its doors in January 2015 after nine months of labour struggles, declining revenues and a failed plan to push forward.

The centre will offer some programming, but not as much as was offered before. No food service will be available in 2016.

The board also asks those attending the centre this year to “come to the centre with open minds, whether you have experienced Naramata in the past or are coming for the first time.”

Registration for programs and accommodations will open in March.

The centre will be hosting a work week from May 23 to May 27 to prepare the facilities for the season. A second work weekend opportunity will be held from Oct. 21 to 24. Registration for those wishing to help is available at the centre website.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
