This is new territory for everyone and we continue to listen to the direction of the B.C. medical health officer and take local action in the public’s best interests.”
According to the City, all monthly memberships at Parkinson Recreation Centre will automatically be put on hold until the facility resumes operations.
If customers would prefer to withdraw their memberships for a credit on account or partial refund they're asked to call 250-469-8800.
“As I said yesterday, these are anxious times. But Kelowna has seen many difficult times before and I believe we can rise to the occasion and again show our best selves in the face of adversity,” added Mayor Basran.
