It takes a community to bring events to life ❤️ During 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤, we’re celebrating the incredible volunteers who help power events at the SOEC Complex. From concerts and hockey games to conventions and community events, volunteers play a key role behind the scenes at the South Okanagan Events Centre and Penticton Trade & Convention Centre (PTCC). For local non-profit groups, our Volunteer Parking and Food & Beverage Fundraising Programs also provide opportunities to raise funds while supporting the guest experience. Thank you to every volunteer whose time, effort, and commitment help make these events possible. 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝? Click the link in our bio! #NationalVolunteerWeek #Penticton
