A public naming contest for a new room at the Penticton Regional Hospital finally has a winner.
Out of seven finalists, selected from 90 public submissions of options for an in-patient room in the hospital's newest tower, "Meadowlark Room" came out on top.
The name earned 22.3 per cent of the votes cast, and was followed up by "Peach Blossom Room" at 20.9 per cent and "Sun-Oka Serenity Room" at 14.3 per cent.
In total, 426 votes were cast.
“It is a fitting choice for the hospital room name as the Meadowlark is a favourite with birders in the Okanagan and its song is said to brighten anyone’s day. The highly popular Meadowlark Festival is also coming up in May,” said JoAnne Kleb, engagement strategist with the City of Penticton.
“We want to thank everyone who had some fun with the contest and either submitted a name or placed a vote.”
The woman who submitted the winning name, Courtney Thompson, will receive a one-month pass to the Penticton Community Centre pool. All others who submitted a name have also been entered in a draw for a second pool pass.
The names have now been submitted to the South Okanagan Similkameen Foundation to vet with Interior Health and the province. It will take between six to 12 months for the name to be finalized.
