*Exciting News!*

We are thrilled to announce that the Penticton Vees will be joining the Western Hockey League (WHL) starting from the 2025-2026 season!

Congratulations to Graham & Sue Fraser, Fred Harbinson, and the entire Vees organization on this monumental achievement!

To our amazing community in Penticton, we have some fantastic news to share:

*Youth Tickets Remain Free!*

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Peter Brothers Paving, youth tickets will continue to be free!

We're committed to keeping hockey accessible to all. Regular ticket prices will see only a minimal increase.

*Get Ready for "Friday Night Lights" in Penticton!*

We're excited to create an electric atmosphere in town when we host the Kelowna Rockets in September for our first WHL game!

And every home game thereafter will be just as exciting!

This is a game-changer for our community, and I'm 100% behind this initiative.

Let's make Penticton a hub for hockey excitement!

I'll first start with a big thanks to Shane and Lamb's Media for their assistance on Friday. We went around town and made a few videos. Shane absolutely killed it considering the talent he had to work with lol
Well everyone, four days... four days until the City Of Penticton final day to vote for new leadership for the next 4 years. I'm all in for this community and hope to have all your support and vote Graham for council.
We need balance in our community! It's imparitive we take care and invest in everyone that calls Penticton home. We need leaders to sit and work together, get to work hearing this community’s concerns and most importantly, make sure we are all heard.
Oct 13th and 15th are the last days for early voting. On the 13th, only at the Trade and Convention Center from 8am to 8pm, then finally this upcoming Saturday Oct 15th 8am to 8pm again at the Trade and Convention Center as well as The Senior's Drop in Center on Southmain.
Every vote matters, yes even yours!! It's time we all get out and vote 🗳

What an incredible time I had this morning with the students at Holy Cross School. These kids had some amazing questions. The little ones love this community as much as I do! It was incredible to hear grade 8 students talk about why we thought people don't come out and vote as much as they should... it was profound that even these amazing grade 8 students understand the importance of voting!!
So again, it's time to vote, it's time to finally get into the game and vote! YES, Your vote matters, every vote matters, so it's time you vote for whomever you want that you feel is going to be a leader and a voice for you and our beautiful community.

Loki's Garage gets it! If we finally want to see change in this beautiful community of ours then we must be the change! Get out and Vote! Super easy, in and out in 10min. Let's do it! Let's begin the change 💯🙌🔥

Vote!
It took less time to vote today than it did to get my morning coffee. 6:05 for coffee and 4:35 to vote.
The biggest challenge to communal growth is apathy and low voter turn out.
For those of you that have never voted before, please consider doing so!
If you won't have time on the 15th, please consider voting today, the 8th, or Thurs Oct 13th at the Convention Centre.

Round 3, Ladies & Gentleman! Ok we are now only 5 days away from early voting! The time is here to game plan what day you're going to go vote, the location where you're going to vote, either the Trade and Convention Center or The Penticton Senior Drop in Center on South Main. 8am to 8pm, a full 12 hours you have. Time to invest 12min to vote!!! We can't continue on this path of low voting turnout. More importantly, true leaders won't get in if you don't... we all owe it to each other and this community to vote!
