“While we await the final results of the provincial election, on behalf of the City of Penticton, I wanted to thank everyone who participated. Whether you put your name on the ballot, volunteered, worked for Elections BC or simply voted, you played a role in one of our most fundamental rights - the right to peaceful elections.
“Congratulations to Amelia Boultbee as MLA-elect for Penticton-Summerland. As a member of council, she has been a strong advocate for our community and she will undoubtably bring that same tenacity to her new role in representing us to Victoria.
“And congratulations to Greg Gabriel on his re-election as chief of the Penticton Indian Band. As a City, we are excited to build on the progress made, and have no doubt that the coming years will bring success and opportunity for both our communities.”
