Due to concerns over maintaining social distancing due to the large crowds gathering at the drive-by events, the parade is cancelled.
In a social media post made on Monday, the Penticton Fire Department suggested they would continue to show their support for hospital workers online.
Every second night for the past week, fire crew have driven by the hospital at 7 p.m., during health care workers shift change, with lights and sirens blaring to show support for their work in the fight against COVID-19.
