A bench dedicated to citizen advocate Muriel Franck, originally located north of Penticton City Hall in Gyro Park, is being moved to the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre.
The new location, selected to increase the longevity of the bench, was arrived at following discussions with the original donors and Franck’s family.
