"Our Government knows that improvements to public spaces are an important way to encourage growth and to strengthen a community. A healthy and thriving community requires the necessary sporting facilities and outdoor spaces to ensure that the community is able to stay fit and active, and the updates to Memorial Park will help foster an energized and positive community."
- Dan Albas, Member of Parliament for Okanagan - Coquihalla
"Memorial Park is a central recreation hub for our community and Council has sought to improve it for our residents. Music in the Park, Westside Daze, Canada Day celebrations and recreation programming keep this facility very busy. Our skateboard park is in much need of attention, which our residents have clearly campaigned for, and these projects deserve this very welcome boost. On behalf of our community, I thank Mr. Albas for his dedication and representation and the Government of Canada for this important funding."
- His Worship Doug Findlater, Mayor of West Kelowna
