New visitor centre manager JOANNE LAYH If you find yourself downtown drop into the Peachland Historic School and say hello to Peachland’s newest visitor centre manager, Trina Shields. Shields joined the visitor centre a couple weeks ago and is excited to greet visitors. “When this position came up, I was really thrilled to apply,” Shields told the View. “It’s the perfect location, perfect job. All of my previous history seems to all be part of this role and I’m just thrilled.” Shields has roots planted in Peachland going back over 35 years, when her family moved to Peachland. No matter where she’s lived, she’s always considered Peachland her home and is now proud to say she permanently reside here again. Shields is still amazed at the beauty Peachland has to offer, as well as the many outdoor activities all year round, where she loves exploring hidden adventures. The Peachland Visitor Centre has several new initiatives planned for the spring and summer 2021 season, such as their Historic Peachland Walking Tour, which will be part of the upcoming HeARTS Festival events. They’re also expanding their gift shop with unique Peachland branded items and additional displays to make the shop more profitable. “We also want to focus on the website more than ever, just to get that message out there so that if the COVID continues at least we can provide that information to them,” said Shields. “Because of COVID of course, all of those numbers have dropped drastically, but I do know that compared to other communities, we’re still seeing pretty good numbers because we are located on the water, it’s an historical building that people are attracted to and that brings in a lot of visitors. That’s really positive, so we know people are still visiting our community.” Shields says what really is exciting is the Peachland Visitor Centre has recently joined the newly formed Visit South
