What started as a friendly playoff wager turned into a great reminder of what sports are really about: sportsmanship, connection and community.

Prince George Mayor Yu followed through on a lighthearted bet with Mayor Bloomfield and the Penticton Vees, proving that friendly competition can bring cities together, one date at a time. ☀️🍦

As part of Emergency Preparedness Week, the City will be conducting a test of the Penticton Alert (Voyent Alert) emergency notification system.

Date: May 7, 2026.
Time: 3:00 pm.

This will be a test only. No action is required.

The purpose of this test is to ensure our emergency notification system is working properly and to remind residents how important it is to receive timely information during an emergency.

If you are already signed up for Penticton Alert, you may receive a test notification by phone, text message, email, or the mobile app, depending on your preferences.

Residents who are not yet registered are encouraged to sign up to receive emergency and community notifications. Registration is free and only takes a few minutes. To learn more about Penticton Alert or to subscribe, visit: www.penticton.ca/alerts.
