Penticton Memorial Arena

Penticton Memorial Arena is a hockey arena and ice rink located in Penticton, British Columbia. The arena is notable for its status as a war memorial, its specialized wooden arch roof, and for hosting the Okanagan Hockey School and the senior Penticton Vees. Construction The arena was built in 1951 at 273 Power Street and was the first artificial indoor ice rink in Penticton. Memorial Arena is dedicated towards local veterans and war dead. A metal plaque on the east wall of the main entrance of the arena marks its memorial status, recognized by the National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials. Kenyon and Company, run by Penticton local Harold Kenyon and now known as Greyback Construction Ltd., received the contract for $226,777.77. William Karel Noppe, a Belgian-Canadian architect active across British Columbia, was hired as the architect. Architecture Memorial Arena seats 2,212 people. The arena features a half barrel-shaped roof made of laminated wooden arches. The support beams of the arc are 146 feet long and at the time of construction, were the largest beams of its kind in North America. From 1994-1996 the arena was renovated including the additional reinforcement of the beams with steel, as they had begun to rot. There are many notable elements of the arena's design that remained intact until at least 2006, according to the Penticton Register of Historic Places, including: The early use of glue laminated beams in the roof construction The large interior open span The original 1951 score clock Memorial Arena is registered on the Penticton Heritage Registry and on the Canadian Register of Historic Places as of 2020. Uses and events Memorial Arena has hosted a variety of sports including hockey, figure skating, training camps, dry floor activities and other entertainment. Several recreational leagues, including the Okanagan Hockey School and minor hockey teams use the space for B.C.-wide practices and games. Historically, Memorial Arena was home to the senior Penticton Vees hockey team, the 1955 Ice Hockey World Champions. At the roundabout outside of the arena there is a 10-metre-high stainless-steel sculpture dedicated to this 1955 Penticton Vees victory. Proposed future use Since 2017 the future of Memorial Arena has been focused on repurposing or demolishing the space. As of October 2025, the City of Penticton has proposed to demolish the arena to use its land as a parking lot for a proposed complex of two NHL-sized hockey rinks. Rather than demolition, it has also been proposed that Memorial Arena be turned into a dry floor facility. The proposed dry floor facility plan may include spaces for volleyball, floor hockey, roller skating, basketball, pickleball, wheelchair sports, lacrosse and other community actives like holiday events, farmer’s markets, graduation parties and kids’ camps. By November 26, 2025, 630 people had signed an online petition to move forward with the conversion rather than demolish the building. References

Sidney Island

Sidney Island is one of the southern Gulf Islands located between the southwest coast of British Columbia, Canada and Vancouver Island, BC, near James Island. Sidney Island has an elevation of 77 metres (252 feet 8 inches) above mean sea level at its highest point. It is located across Sidney Channel, just east of the town of Sidney on the east coast of the Saanich Peninsula. Sidney Island is a part of the Capital Regional District, while its land titles are legally described in the Cowichan Land District. In 1859 Captain Richards named the island for Frederick W. Sidney, who, like Richards served in the survey branch of the Royal Navy. Gulf Islands National Park Reserve The northern end of the island (including Sidney Spit, a sandspit) is part of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. It was formerly the Sidney Spit Marine Park under provincial jurisdiction. Sidney Spit is accessible by kayak, canoe or boat. There are 21 mooring buoys, and dock space is available to boaters on the government dock. Sidney Spit is also accessible by the privately operated walk-on passenger ferry that runs between the Sidney Pier (in Sidney) and Sidney Spit during the summer months. Sidney Spit is known for its sandy beaches and backcountry camping. There are 26 walk-in, backcountry camp sites available at Sidney Spit, and facilities include pit toilets and picnic tables. Due to the high sodium content there is no longer any potable water at Sidney Spit. It is recommended that visitors bring their own water. Campfires are not permitted. Wildlife is abundant on Sidney Spit, as this island is an important resting spot for migrating shorebirds. Sidney Island Strata The southern part of the island (about 80%) is organized into a private strata corporation containing 111 strata lots, each of which is generally between one and three acres in size with 200 to 400 feet of oceanfront.

Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park

Der Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park ist ein 19,94 km² großer Provincial Park in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Das Schutzgebiet wurde am 2. August 1978 eingerichtet. Wie bei fast allen Provinzparks in British Columbia gilt jedoch auch für diesen, dass er – lange bevor die Gegend von Einwanderern besiedelt oder Teil eines Parks wurde – Jagd- und Fischereigebiet verschiedener Stämme der First Nations, hier hauptsächlich der Ktunaxa, war. Bei dem Park handelt es sich um ein Schutzgebiet der IUCN-Kategorie II (Nationalpark). Lage Der Provinzpark befindet sich im Regional District of East Kootenay im Südosten der Provinz. Das Schutzgebiet liegt abgelegen in den Kootenay Ranges, die zu den Kanadischen Rocky Mountains gehören. Es erstreckt sich über eine Niederung zwischen den Flüssen White River im Osten und Lussier River im Westen. In der etwa 1150 m hoch gelegenen Niederung befindet sich der 4 km² große Whiteswan Lake sowie der 30 ha große Alves Lake. Natur und Fauna Das Ökosystem von British Columbia wird mit dem Biogeoclimatic Ecological Classification (BEC) Zoning System in verschiedene biogeoklimatischen Zonen eingeteilt. Biogeoklimatische Zonen zeichnen sich durch ein grundsätzlich identisches oder sehr ähnliches Klima sowie gleiche oder sehr ähnliche biologische und geologische Voraussetzungen aus. Daraus resultiert in den jeweiligen Zonen dann auch ein sehr ähnlicher Bestand an Pflanzen und Tieren. Innerhalb dieser Systematik wird das Parkgebiet der Montane Spruce Zone zugeordnet. Im Park leben Elche, Schneeziegen, Dickhornschafe, Wapiti, Hirsche, Grizzlybären und Schwarzbären. Vögel im Park sind Eistaucher, Rothalstaucher, Gürtelfischer, Kanadareiher, Weißkopfseeadler und Steinadler. In den Seen kommt die Regenbogenforelle vor. Attraktionen Neben den beiden Bergseen bildet die Thermalquelle Lussier Hot Springs () am Lussier River gelegen eine Attraktion im Provinzpark. Zugang Den Provinzpark erreicht man über die Whiteswan Lake Forest Service Road, die 5 km südlich von Canal Flats vom Highway 93 abzweigt und 17 km nach Osten zum Parkeingang führt. Zwischen Ende September und Anfang Mai ist der Provinzpark nur eingeschränkt in Betrieb. Aktivitäten Im Park gibt es fünf am Seeufer oder Flussufer gelegene Campingplätze mit insgesamt 114 (teilweise reservierbare) Stellplätzen für Wohnmobile und Zelte sowie einfachen Sanitäranlagen. Es gibt außerdem drei Bootsrampen. Angeln ist mit der entsprechenden Lizenz erlaubt. Weblinks Whiteswan Lake Park In: Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB, englisch) Whiteswan Lake Park.

Tranquille Sanatorium

Tranquille Sanatorium was a health care facility in British Columbia, built in 1907 to treat tuberculosis, which was known as the "white plague" back then. The BC government bought the land for the sanatorium. As the tuberculosis epidemic was spreading in the 1900s, a small community known as Tranquille was built around it. Originally, the facility was called the King Edward VII Sanatorium and served only to treat tuberculosis. The community built around the facility had gardens, houses, a gymnasium, a farm, a fire department, an auditorium, a cafeteria, a laundry mat, tennis courts, a steam plant, a school for handicapped children named "Stsmemelt Village", and many more facilities. In 1958, the hospital closed and was reopened in 1959 to treat the mentally ill. It closed permanently in 1983 but briefly functioned as a detention center for young offenders until the 1990s. In September 1991, an Italian developer, Giovanni Camporese, the president of A&A Foods, bought the land for turning it into a resort and renamed it "Padova City" as a reminder of the place he was born. There were plans for the demolition of the site but governmental interference's and Camporese's unrelated 1997 case prevented it. The Tranquille Sanatorium has a medical lab in the middle of it. The abandoned site has recently been operated by Tranquille Farm Fresh and the acres of fertile lands are used for agriculture. Movies, such as The A-Team and Firewall were partly filmed there. The company has given tours of the grounds and opened the tunnels for Halloween with theatrics in partnership with Chimera Theatre of Kamloops, BC., The site has been approved for a future resort community named Tranquille On The Lake.
