Penticton Community Centre leisure pool reopens

PENTICTON – The  Penticton Community Centre Pool is now open in its entirety.

The leisure pool is fully operational, according to a City of Penticton media release.

The leisure pool has been shut down since September when cracks were discovered in the pool’s drains following renovations to the pool deck this summer.

Mayor Andrew Jakubeit thanked the community for their patience during the repairs.

“We know how much the community values the Penticton Community Centre services,” he says in the release. “We want to join the staff in welcoming back all of our customers to the leisure pool.”

Customer appreciation programs are expected to continue with a “shop locally” theme next week. Residents will be able to enter draws to win $60 in Downtown Penticton dollars and an "I Heart Penticton" T-shirt.

During the week of Dec. 7 to Dec. 11 festive giveaways will take place at the community centre offering the opportunity to win a decorated Christmas tree.

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.
