Training & Education

By ensuring that all our staff is educated with the latest recommendations and restrictions, we can all feel safer during work hours. Resort management is closely following notices and information provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), the BC Centre For Disease Control (BCCDC) and the Center For Disease Control (CDC). Management provides regular updates and policy revisions to all staff based on the latest official health authority recommendations.

Frequent Workspace Sanitizing

Staff are reminded to regularly sanitize all surfaces, furniture, and fixtures within employee work spaces. This includes common areas of the resort, break rooms, and all of our guest suites. Cleaning supply inventories are closely monitored and re-stocked.

Heightened sanitization at Penticton Lakeside Resort & Conference Centre — Every surface and fixture in our guest suites and common areas is sanitized with EnvirOx, an environmentally responsible sanitizer and virucide that kills 99.99% of surface bacteria and viruses.

Personal Protective Equipment

Gloves and masks are available for staff and we encourage their use at all times. Staff PPE inventory is closely monitored and regularly re-stocked.

Physical Distancing

Our staff is committed to following the physical distancing policies and recommendations put into place by British Columbia health officials and by the resort. Our spacious guest suites and common areas allow for proper physical distancing measures from guests and other staff at all times during the workday.

Health & Wellness

We encourage all our staff to maintain a healthy lifestyle outside of the resort, including proper hygiene, diet, and exercise, to boost personal immune systems. We’ve asked our team to comply with physical distancing policies away from the resort, as well as to stay home if feeling unwell, or if any immediate family member is feeling unwell.

Staff have been informed that they are to consult a doctor if experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, and to seek medical attention if required.
