All done

Well, it is late 2010. Despite the best efforts of the people associated with this site, the Pen-Hi gym and auditorium were pulled down in 2008-2009. Now Pen-Hi has a huge parking lot, Penticton still has (surprise) no performing arts center, and Okanagan College is spending a lot of money building a new gym (very green, they say, though not as green as using a gym that was already there...).

I think it is fair to say in retrospect that the decision to tear down the Pen-Hi gym and auditorium was a singularly stupid decision. But apart from the weak satisfaction of saying "we told you so", there is not much we can do at this point. Most of the politicians and staffers associated with the decision have been turfed. So it is time to move on.

ActLocalNow, the website for the Okanagan Skaha Resident's association, is now defunct. The site really only made sense as part of the 2008 local elections. Instead, in my capacity as Director of Area 'F', Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, I have my own area site: areaf.rdos.bc.ca.
