A Penticton, B.C., resident is sharing his story after walking over 10 hours to get to work.Highway 97 was closed later that day following a rockslide which meant MacDonald couldn’t take the bus home. So, instead, he set out on foot back to Penticton from Kelowna.
The head groundskeeper is one of the longest-employed employees at the Penticton Lakeside Resort and said he did not want to miss more than a day of work. “Surreal for a split second until I realized who I was talking to. Matthew is just completely loyal in all ways possible, including walking from Kelowna to Penticton to get to work because he didn’t want to miss two days,” said Mosses.
