Weeks ago I asked about the smoke situation of my favorite Canadian city. A day later Summerland got evacuated. Thank you for all the response I got to cancel our trip. Now we have a weekend trip planned again hoping to get some sport climbing, river floating, lake time, and lots of ice cream because I am stubborn and would really love to visit my happy place again. How is everybody doing and how's the weather and air quality? My fam just got back from Banff through Revelstoke and Kamloops yesterday and there were no mention about poor air quality.

Evaluating a few home builders in the area for a new build and looking for any feedback/reviews from people that might help with the decision. Thanks!

From out of town and I’d love a brunch recommendation for tomorrow - thanks!

First off, the support we have gotten here has been amazing. Really makes this job worth it. This place is beautiful and the people are awesome, we are doing our best!

Does anyone have any favorite restraunts or sightseeing around here we can check out after our shift?

Also, we are big into disc golf but dont have disc's here. Do they rent them at the courses? Thanks!

A loved one has passed and requested their ashes to be scattered in Skaha lake. The urn is biodegradable so we may toss the urn vs scattering ashes. Any experiences to share or boat companies to recommend? 8 people approximately.

Particularly when I’m crossing the highway by a&w the people turning in from Westminster ave w almost always hit me without fail, today someone sped in front of me while I was waking causing the rest of the cars to also turn and I didn’t get a chance to cross. I have to cross this road to get to work, there’s no other way for me to get there. Wish I could do something about it. Sorry for the rant.

Hey Penticton folks, been eyeing the situation of the wildfire around the area. All my blessings go out to everyone there.

We have been looking to do a road trip with kids up that way and was hoping that the condition have improved the last couple of days?

We have been stairing at the Webcam and it looks a lot better today?

Looks like the property owner (who I think is one of the owners of the Vees…I could be wrong tho) couldn’t figure his stuff out and now the property is being foreclosed on. Lame.

Edit: we're going!

Wondering if we should cancel since air quality so shit still :(

Can anyone point me towards a tobacconist in Penticton that sells pipe tobacco?

I am supposed to head to penticton on Friday , I have been watching the weather, air quality etc and I’m getting mixed answers. Yesterday it was saying air quality was low moderate now today saying health risk. I know things can change fast. I am not traveling with any kids just me and my boyfriend. We won’t get a refund so I was just trying to be as optimistic as possible to hopefully still be able to come. If anyone can give insight if it would still be enjoyable?

Heres a fun one, all my tools are stuck on a job site in summerland. Something tells me i would be a low priority, and not able to get a permit to enter the city...

Cant really work without my tools, but i understand theres more important issues right now..

Preface: Not trying to sound like a selfish asshole because I realize people in Summerland have lost their homes… However, just wondering if flights are operating out of Penticton? We have a WestJet flight booked for the 20th and it seems as though no flights have been running for the past 10 days. Wondering if we should look at booking something out of Kelowna. Thanks in advance for any info!!

Thanks everyone — WestJet continues to extend the travel advisory. I don’t think they plan to fly to Penticton for the foreseeable future (smoke or not). We are flying out of Kelowna tomorrow 👍

Just wondering if the Penticton Dragonboat Festival is still happening in September or are you still waiting to see how the weather goes...

So it’s my first summer living here and I was wondering about beach recommendations.

I live by Okanagan so it was my go to, but all the ash kinda has me exploring. Checked out Skaha, yesterday and going to head to Sudbury today. Any other nice beaches you’d recommend?

So far I like Skaha more than Okanagan, except the convenience of living on the north end. Both seem family oriented, so bonus points for any recommendations with less little kids zooming around.

That said, I’d like to check them all out!

Thanks :)
