Are you new to Penticton? Welcome! In case you haven't noticed, we have a passion for hockey around here. And we've just partnered with the Penticton Vees to offer our newest residents free tickets to the upcoming game on Saturday, Jan. 11.
In addition, 70 people will be invited to attend a locker-room tour earlier in the day.
It's all part of our 'Welcome Home' campaign, geared to provide a warm welcome to our newest community members, while pointing you in the right direction to get settled, set up a business or access local resources.
We have partnered with the Penticton Vees to offer 100 free adult tickets to the Saturday, Jan. 11 game, as well as a meet-and-greet earlier in the day. As always, youth aged 18 and under receive free admission courtesy of Peter Brothers Construction.
And there’s a twist. While many of the newcomers will be seeing the Vees for the first time, a lot of old friends will make a return for Retro Night as the Vees honour the history of the Penticton Panthers.
The City’s Economic Development team will reach out to the most recent newcomers later this week who have filled out a Welcome Home form. The tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you are new to Penticton haven’t already signed up, visit penticton.ca/welcome-home.
Penticton has just been named the third most livable city in Canada for newcomers in The Globe and Mail’s latest rankings, as well as the ninth most livable city in Canada overall.
