LETTERS: Park of memories

We wanted to write a note to the people of Penticton to say that you are an amazing group of people that make up a great town.

We have visited Penticton a number of times over the years and have always been very well looked after, thank you. We have also been able to enjoy Skaha Park on most of our visits. It’s a beautiful place to rest and have fun. We have four little kids and they always enjoyed the playground, sprinklers and space to run.

On our most recent visit we had a huge gathering of family and friends  meet in Penticton for the celebration of life of our brother, Jamie Weberg — Penticton Vees chaplain.

Skaha Park provided us with the open space we needed to see everyone, we would never have fit anywhere else. We were able to visit, have ice cream and were even supplied with watermelon in the heat of the day (thanks so much Todd and family). Thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful park and we hope to visit it again.

We are glad to have opportunity to thank everyone (even in a small way) through this note. We really do have a lot of connections there through Jamie and would like to express our gratitude for all they have done. We also hope it helps to keep your park the way it is.

Christine Weberg,

on behalf of the Webergs from Saskatchewan
