The City of Penticton is excited to celebrate Accessibility Week (May 31 to June 6). This is a time to recognize the importance of creating inclusive environments where everyone can fully participate. Accessibility is about more than removing barriers. It’s about designing services and spaces that work for people of all abilities from the start. When we prioritize accessibility, we create better experiences for everyone.
Join us for these upcoming events and activities throughout the week.
