Penticton Wants to Lead The Way to 2010

• Why Penticton
• Penticton is the perfect location for a water
  ramp. Weather is ideal, Sports Tourism is a
  guiding principle of Pentictons development.
  Tourism Services are well established. Did we
  mention Weather?...
• Apex Mountain Resort is the premier venue in
  Western Canada in Training and Competitions for
  Freestyle Skiing, and is the home of the BC team.
  
• Provincial and National teams often use Apex as
  their early season training site. This will grow
  as infrastructure improves and as the Olympics
  approach. A Water Ramp adds to the critical mass.

Recommendation In addition to the ongoing
viability of the project, this is a fabulous
opportunity to for Penticton to participate in
the training of BC athletes in their quest
towards the 2010 Olympics. What better place than
Penticton to showcase the countrys best. We
ask that the this Committee support our proposal
by forwarding this project to Council with your
comments and recommendations. Together, lets
make Penticton proud as a centre of Sports
