One of my fave things about working at Club Penguin was seeing all the creations from the community! I’m still fascinated by the trend of CPMVs (Club Penguin Music Videos). I love the idea of using video games as film sets like this. I don’t think Jempenguin has made a new CPMV in a while, … Read more

Interesting news in Kelowna, the hometown of Club Penguin. We had a very large space for the CP team in the Landmark buildings. With the closure of Club Penguin and Club Penguin Island, the team obviously didn’t need that much space anymore.
Now that space is going to be occupied by Rogers, a telecommunications company, as a call center.
Great news for Kelowna to have 350-500 jobs available. But a little bittersweet for those of us who liked that CP office.
