The summer fun continues as we open the season at Swim Bay, the only lifeguarded beach in BC’s interior, starting June 17 Our dedicated lifeguards are ready to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all beachgoers Supervised swimming will be offered from 12:30-5:30 PM, seven days a week throughout the summer� They also offer swimming lessons for all ages to teach valuable water safety skills (p� 6 & 7)�

And let’s not forget the grandeur of our Canada Day celebrations on July 1 (p� 27)� This year, we’re excited to unveil Peachland’s new portable stage, which will be the centerpiece for fantastic concerts, a dazzling fireworks display and more� It’s a day to celebrate our nation’s heritage, our community and the spirit of togetherness

Peachland is also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering an array of free activities Whether you’re hiking our scenic trails, biking through our lush landscapes or swimming at the beach, there’s no shortage of ways to stay active and embrace the natural beauty of our town�
