From hiking and boating to even paragliding, a Peachland resident has found some creative ways to get to work amid highway closures
What used to be a simple 20-minute commute to work has turned into quite an adventure for Okanagan Crush Pad Winery’s general manager, Craig Pingle.
“The first day I took the backroads and it took over two hours because it hadn’t had any work done on them yet. Then day two, I decided to park at Okanagan Provincial Park and take the hike up over the hill. I did it once, and definitely didn’t want to do it again. Took me about two hours to do the same thing.”This week, however, Pingle has found a few more unique ways to make his daily commute, including by water and by air.
Air Canada is waiving fees for those travellers with existing bookings impacted by the landslide to change their arrival destination to Penticton or Kelowna. Luxury Lake Tours is offering a weekday Rock Slide Shuttle Service between Peachland and Summerland with one-way and return options.“It’s been going well, it’s been steady. We’ve got a group of schoolteachers that we’re helping to get across, and they are giving us, you know, enough that we can cover costs, and we’re able to help,” said Luxury Lake Tours owner Calvin Barr.“The response has been fantastic.
