I have already identified problems and opportunities to help Penticton, that is why I am running for mayor.
First we have to rebuild our reputation as a straightforward place to do business (undue legal action against our own tourism board and citizens, the hockey dorms fiasco, a bureaucracy that drives potential business else where).
The opportunities include: using our lakes to become the water sport capital of Canada, with the specialized, lucrative cottage industries that would come with it; Eco-tourism to enhance our reputation, we have clean air, water, a healthy environment with wildlife co-existing with us in our city. Raise our profile, the people will come.
