'Big step' towards new Summerland gym

Penticton Herald: After a nearly two-decade push for a new gym at Summerland Secondary School, the ball has finally started bouncing on a replacement, which is already being eyed for much more than just recreational activity. School District 67 trustees heard at their meeting Monday the Ministry of Education has given the go-ahead to prepare a business case for the project. “Unfortunately, the ministry is not committing any money towards our project at this point, but they are allowing us to go do a business case and look at what the cost would be and then compare that to our local and restricted capital funds to see if we have enough to move forward with this project,” explained facilities director Doug Gorcak.
