“I have recently relocated to Penticton and I could not be more pleased. Living in the South Okanagan is truly amazing. Beauty surrounds this exquisite valley. Since my arrival in August, I have had the pleasure of swimming and playing at the beach, hiking alpine meadows, watching the Challenge Triathlon, hiking scenic trails, visiting local wineries, shopping the summer farmers’ market, and now snowshoeing snowy trails, and skiing the powder of Apex mountain. I have felt welcome since my arrival and I am continually amazed at the beauty I see each and every day.” – Sharon Nelson, RN, Dialysis Patient Care Coordinator, PRH
