Rotary Club of Penticton The Penticton Rotary Club consists of a group of women and men who enjoy meeting weekly for fellowship & support in serving our local and global community.

We were honoured to welcome WHL Executive of the Year—and our very own Penticton Vees coach—Fred Harbinson, along with Ticketing Manager Natalee Campbell, to our weekly meeting yesterday.
Fred shared highlights from his career with the Vees, the team’s BCHL success, and their record-breaking first season in the WHL. While many wondered how the Vees would fare against bigger, stronger WHL opponents, under Fred’s leadership they not only held their own—they won the BC Division in year one. An extraordinary feat.
He also spoke to how he connects with and develops these young players. Talented and hard-working as they are, they’re still teenagers who’ve left home and are entrusted to the Vees organization. The team is committed to shaping them into excellent hockey players and well-rounded, responsible young men.
Looking ahead, Fred expects a strong season despite having fewer seasoned 20-year-olds. As for us? We love our Vees—and we trust our coach.😉

We were honoured to welcome Helena Konanz, MP for Similkameen–South Okanagan–West Kootenay, as our guest speaker this week.
Helena shared her inspiring journey from UCLA championship tennis player and world-ranked professional athlete—including competing at Wimbledon—to serving her community in public office. She spoke about the powerful and lasting impact sport can have on young people.
She also expressed heartfelt concern for those affected by the Summerland wildfire and recognized Rotary Club of Penticton President Harpreet Sidhu for her tireless support of evacuees, even while facing evacuation herself.
We are grateful that all Rotary members displaced by the wildfire have safely returned home.

Relief is beginning to be felt as many Summerland residents receive notice that they can return home. ❤️
Rotary Club of Penticton members have been working alongside JCI Penticton all week at the 24-hour relief tent and the Emergency Support Services Centre, helping evacuees register and access support.
Pancakes and eggs are on the menu this morning at the JCI Penticton 24-hour relief tent beside the Penticton Community Centre. We are especially grateful to our generous donors. With a recent influx of evacuees, we have become one of the few food-service locations available, and your support is helping us serve those who need it most.
Updates on access to Summerland are expected this morning. Please continue to rely on official sources for current information.
