In celebration of Canada Day, the City of Penticton will be offering free transit on Saturday, July 1, including an all-day shuttle service connecting major events taking place throughout the city.
“With the Canada Day party at Gyro Park, Ribfest at Skaha Lake Park and Scottish Festival at Kings Park, we anticipate there will be a lot of people outdoors enjoying the festivities. With this free shuttle connecting the three event locations, as well as a number of park-and-ride options, we hope to encourage residents to park the car and try transit,” says Kristen Dixon, General Manager of Infrastructure.
The shuttle will operate on a loop, with specific stop locations – including the event sites – every 30 minutes, running from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. In addition, free bus services will be available on BC Transit’s Route 5 Main Street and Route 16 Lake to Lake.
