Penticton Wants to Lead The Way to 2010 Mission Statement

Why Penticton :
• Penticton is the perfect location for a water ramp. Weather is ideal, Sports Tourism is a guiding principle of Penticton ’s development. Tourism Services are well established. Did we mention Weather?...
• Apex Mountain Resort is the premier venue in Western Canada in Training and Competitions for Freestyle Skiing, and is the home of the BC team.
