Next Step: Get Shred Ready Before Opening Day

Opening Day is November 27 (or earlier), and things go smoother for everyone when passes are picked up in advance — especially for Kelowna-based passholders.

If you’re a first-timer, a student, or a returning passholder with an old card or missing waiver, picking up early is essential.
