My Story
This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because right now, over 1,700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support SickKids Foundation to allow them to continue their work in developing treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.
Amber

Lake to lake: Okanagan Lake.
30 Aug 2025Penticton is one of two cities in the world to be bordered by two lakes. On the north end of town is Okanagan Lake. It has a smaller area of beach depending on the tide and runs 135km between Vernon to the North and Penticton to the south. Along the lake area, there are several parks ( Gyro park, Rotary park, Okanagan Lake park). This Lake is closer to downtown, two gardens, the bandshell, art gallery, Loco Landing, outdoor skating rink and the Peach. Opposite the lake on the west side are a string of hotels/motels and restaurants including Lickety Splits (ice cream). Fireworks in Penticton are always here. It is very much an activity hub. There are a couple of bbq pits on the beach and boat and water sports rentals. Families come during the day as do people to sit in their cars and eat while people/lake watching. At night it's more of a hang out place.

One of the best
30 Aug 2025If you want a sandwich made your way, skip going to Subway. Il Vecchio Delicatessen is the place you want to be. You'll wait in line (probably) and have choices then of meats from Canada or worldwide and fresh toppings and sauces served on a fresh kaiser roll. You can add salad or dessert or drinks. The whole shop is full of stuff you can add to your pantry from all across the globe. Please note: they only take cash not debit or credit.
