Penticton neighbourhood to get shined up in community event – Okanagan

A South Okanagan neighbourhood is going to get a bit of a glow up next week, courtesy of the Penticton Neighbourhood Association.

The Gazebo at Skaha Lake Park will be the starting point for the Community Cleanup of 2024, where participants will meet Sunday, June 23, at 10 a.m.

“A cleanup event is a small investment of time that has positive gains for all residents,” said Nicolas Stulberg, community president of the PNA, said in a press release.

All cleanup materials will be provided so attendees are encouraged to dress for the weather, bring comfortable footwear and a friend, neighbour, or family member.

Community members can confirm attendance by emailing cleanup@ourneighbourhood.ca or liking the group’s Facebook page and viewing the event details.
