This Family Day holiday there’s plenty to do, including at the SOEC and the Community Centre.
The City and community sponsors, with financing provided by the Province of BC, are hosting a fun-filled afternoon on the plaza at the South Okanagan Events Centre on Monday, Feb. 19 between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. Bring your family and enjoy free hot chocolate, BBQ by donation, outdoor family games, accessible sensory space and photo booth.
If you bring your own skates you can enjoy the ice at the SOEC at no cost. CSA-approved helmets or winter helmets are not mandatory but strongly recommended. Helmets and skates will not be available to rent. Kids (12 and under) must be accompanied by an adult/guardian.
And for the first time since 2019, the Penticton Community Centre will be open between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. with the waterslide and leisure pool features scheduled to be available all day.
City facilities including City Hall, City Yards, McLaren Arena, Penticton Public Library and the Penticton Museum & Archives will be closed Monday, Feb. 19 for Family Day. These facilities will reopen with regular hours on Tuesday, Feb. 20.
