Central Okanagan Heritage Society

The Central Okanagan Heritage Society's mission is to build awareness of the distinct heritage of the Central Okanagan through conservation, collaboration, advocacy and education for the benefit of current and future generations. The Society stewards key heritage properties including the Bennett House (donated by the Bennett and Tozer families) and Benvoulin Heritage Park, where Benvoulin Church and Reid Hall host weddings, receptions, concerts and community gatherings. Since 2008 the Society has administered the City of Kelowna's heritage grants program, originally established in 1991, and presents the Annual Heritage Awards each Heritage Week.
