Penticton Museum - Brown Bag Lecture - Blake Laven - 10 Penticton projects that didn’t proceed - Video

Penticton’s current Director of Development Services goes into the City’s Planning vaults to share projects that for a variety of reasons didn’t proceed. Some projects like the ‘P2’ downtown towers and proposed correctional facility (the pen-pen) were the subject of much community debate. Others, like a secondary highway to Kelowna along the KVR and the relocation of Penticton Creek are lesser-known proposals.

Blake Laven is the Director of Development Services for the City of Penticton, overseeing the Planning, Building Bylaw and Social Development Departments. A registered Professional Planner, he holds an MA in Planning from Dalhousie University and a BA (History/Political Science) from Simon Fraser University and has been with the City of Penticton in various roles since 2010.

The Brown Bag Lecture Series is an opportunity to spice up your lunch hour with interesting presentations and discussions on a variety of heritage and culture topics.
