Imagine a community alive with its history
Kelowna Museums is the vital heart of our community’s story, connecting approximately 20,000 visitors annually to our shared past. Your donation ensures we can continue to be the Central Okanagan’s largest classroom, delivering 217 impactful education programs to over 5,300 students, and serving as a crucial partner in reconciliation through dedicated Indigenous workshops and community dialogue.
Every dollar you give directly supports the preservation of our history and the creation of safe, engaging learning spaces where all generations can explore, question, and connect. Help us keep Kelowna’s stories alive and accessible.
