"The City of Penticton exists to enhance the quality of life for our citizens, visitors and future generations. We strive to live in harmony with each other and our environment and further our citizens' economic, physical and social well being." Mission Statement - Penticton City Council
For the past 28 years the Penticton Community Centre has been successfully providing Penticton and area families with a wide range of affordable family friendly fitness, health and arts programs. Could this all change? The Community Centre is the heartbeat of Penticton; let's keep it going strong!
Recently the sitting Mayor and Council while undergoing a core service review and in lieu of the Community Centre renovations have laid off all Community Centre employees. This wealth of knowledge, expertise, and the high standard of service may all be lost due to the lack of open communication not only with the staff but the public. It 's important to stay true to the council's mission statement and these lines of communication need to remain open. By working together, our community centre will once again provide high quality affordable programming for all Penticton's citizens.
The Penticton Community Centre is truly the one place,
Where all Penticton Citizens can come together on common ground!
We, the undersigned:
Want to ensure the Mayor and Council will:
· Strive to maintain the same high quality staff, service and programs
· Maintain subsidized programs
· Ensure affordable Pricesforprograms · Facilitate an open forum to work with the public and
employees to ensure the needs of the community are met
· Not employ a private non-Canadian company to run the new facility
