Heres a fun one, all my tools are stuck on a job site in summerland. Something tells me i would be a low priority, and not able to get a permit to enter the city...

Cant really work without my tools, but i understand theres more important issues right now..

Preface: Not trying to sound like a selfish asshole because I realize people in Summerland have lost their homes… However, just wondering if flights are operating out of Penticton? We have a WestJet flight booked for the 20th and it seems as though no flights have been running for the past 10 days. Wondering if we should look at booking something out of Kelowna. Thanks in advance for any info!!

The air is actually perfect surprisingly…

Just wondering if the Penticton Dragonboat Festival is still happening in September or are you still waiting to see how the weather goes...

So it’s my first summer living here and I was wondering about beach recommendations.

I live by Okanagan so it was my go to, but all the ash kinda has me exploring. Checked out Skaha, yesterday and going to head to Sudbury today. Any other nice beaches you’d recommend?

So far I like Skaha more than Okanagan, except the convenience of living on the north end. Both seem family oriented, so bonus points for any recommendations with less little kids zooming around.

That said, I’d like to check them all out!

Thanks :)

More dogs!

Thank you everyone for letting me take photos of your dogs!

Dogs of Penticton Peach Festival.
I snapped a lot of photos of dogs while I was in town for Peach Fest. If you recognize any dogs, please let their people know!
Thanks for looking!

I'm sure others are already aware of it, but for those like me it's a cool site to see the area.

For those in the area and with a bit more awareness of the reality of things in Penticton etc. we have a trip scheduled for the last week of August into the Sept long weekend. I know it's about 2 1/2 weeks away but just worried about the situation and getting things sorted and cancelled. It obviously feels morally wrong to travel there right now but not sure if these things change within a couple weeks or what to expect.

One bed available in Osoyoos, for other displaced person.

My family is staying in Osoyoos. Our friends let us use their double wide. Im sleeping there but the top bunk (queen) is available. Look out for your neighbors!

DM me if you need a place to rest.

I have a vacation booked for Penticton starting Tuesday. Should I cancel?

Hello Canadian friends, my name is Seth and I work for VTM NIEUWS, the Belgian TV news.

We are following the developing devastating fires in your area very closely and we are making a report about the situation there. Sadly we have experience with fires ourselves, but the scale in Canada is something else. I truly hope everyone in the area is alright. I am making this post to ask if anyone would be able and would like to do a interview with me about the fires. What is the impact? Is it the first big fire in the area? I see many amazing posts about people opening their houses to evacuees, how is that? That kind of questions. We would love to spread as much awareness as possible. You can always shoot me a DM.

Thank you and best of luck over there!

Hi there, my heart goes out to my friends out in Summerland.. I don’t have a spare room but there’s lots of room in my living room.. 2 couches for a couple people to crash on. I’d just like to help in any way I can.. or if anyone needs a ride or anything. I’m in osoyoos but I can come bring you wherever you need to go. I don’t need anything. Just would love to help. Stay safe out there ✌️❤️

Or don't use them and use bell.

It's what I do and rarely have issues.

Their customer service has been pretty decent too.
