We are buzzing with excitement to welcome honey be We are buzzing with excitement to welcome honey bees back to the Okanagan Wine and Orchard Museum! Next time you visit the Laurel Packinghouse, make sure to check out our brand-new observation hive. It offers a fascinating, up-close look at these incredible pollinators hard at work building combs, storing honey, and keeping the colony thriving.

A big thank you to the North Okanagan Beekeepers for building, installing, and maintaining this new hive for our visitors to enjoy.
Dick Parkinson, nicknamed Mr. Regatta, transformed Dick Parkinson, nicknamed Mr. Regatta, transformed the Kelowna Regatta into an international water show and was a living symbol of the event. Though reluctant at first, he helped organize the festivities for over 35 years. He is pictured here receiving his Regatta Honorary Life Membership in 1970.

Dick also served as an alderman (councillor) for thirteen years, and Mayor of Kelowna for nine, from 1958 to 1967. Today, he is commemorated by his namesake, the Parkinson Recreation Centre.
