“Cascades Casino is really excited to be a part of this,” remarks Shane Squires, General Manager. “Local government plays a big role in Penticton and being able to start the year hearing from our mayor gives us all a much clearer picture of where we’re headed, and what we can all do to make Penticton more vibrant and successful.”
