The town hall about privatization will hear from guests who will provide information and answer questions from the public. The virtual town hall meeting will provide the opportunity for Penticton residents to ask questions about the privatization of the Community Centre. Residents will be called at 7:30PM on Monday and invited to participate in this exciting telephone town hall event.

Guests are former Deputy Minister and CUPE researcher Blair Redlin, along with Laurie Larsen, concerned mother, Board of Education Trustee, and CUPE 402 president from Surrey.
