Organizer
Westbank Museum & Visitor Centre in collaboration with the Centre culturel francophone de l'Okanagan
Our mission at the Westbank Museum is to be a cultural centre for the community and provide a repository dedicated to the ongoing collection, preservation, and interpretation of Westbank and the history of the surrounding area.
Our vision is to provide inclusive and equitable care that listens to and better represents the history, stories, and experiences in Westbank and the surrounding communities.
We have taken a proactive role in the community by becoming the annual organizer of the Westside Multiculturalism Day which takes place in June, and by coordinating events like this one for Culture Days by collaborating with local community groups in the Okanagan to share their culture, stories and perspectives.
