"On behalf of City Council, staff and all residents of Penticton, I wish to congratulate Alida Erickson on being recognized by the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General with a Lifetime Achievement Award for her exceptional contributions to emergency and disaster response. When Alida was the Director of Emergency Support Services for the City of Penticton, Alida invested countless hours in the ESS team and our community. All of City Council and City staff are delighted by this recognition, and thank the Province for recognizing a lifetime of impact that Alida has made in Penticton. As Alida continues her transition into retirement from this important role, City Council, on behalf of the community, thank her once again for her leadership and commitment to ensuring Penticton is a safe community."
