The City’s Public Works team will open its doors to the public on Thursday, May 22, to provide an inside look at the work that often goes on behind the scenes.
Residents of all ages are invited to attend the Public Works Week Open House, which will take place at City Yards, 616 Okanagan Ave E, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This free, drop-in event will feature multiple outdoor stations, providing interactive displays about services including electrical, water, sewer, garbage collection, parks, roadwork, transit and more.
“We’re excited to invite everyone back for our annual Open House, which shines a light on the services that keep our community running smoothly,” says Kristen Dixon, General Manager of Infrastructure. “While this has become a popular field trip for local schools, we also invite members of the public to drop by and learn more about the people, work and infrastructure that deliver your essential services.”
The Open House is being held in celebration of National Public Works Week (May 18-25, 2025). This year’s theme is ‘People, Purpose, Presence,’ recognizing how public works professionals serve their communities by meeting their needs and making them safer and more vibrant.
Registrations are required for groups larger than 10. For more details, visit penticton.ca/openhouse.
