Museums

The Okanagan Military Museum is located in the Memorial Arena building in Kelowna at 1424 Ellis Street. The Okanagan Military Museum Society which oversees the museum is dedicated to the preservation of our military and naval history, within a local context, as a valuable contribution to our community. Thousands of Okanagan Valley residents have served in our country's armed services and hundreds continue to serve in our Regular or Reserve forces or have relatives in these categories. In addition, our youth continue to have a connection to our military history either actively through participation in Cadets, during Remembrance Day activities or as part of their educational development as well informed future citizens.

The Virtual Museum of Canada celebrates the stories and treasures that have come to define Canada over the centuries. Here you will find innovative multimedia content that educates, inspires and fascinates! This groundbreaking gateway is the result of a strong partnership between Canada's vast museum community and the Department of Canadian Heritage. Spearheading the enterprise is the Canadian Heritage Information Network, a special operating agency of the Department of Canadian Heritage, that for thirty years has enabled the heritage community to benefit from cutting-edge information technologies.

We encourage you to take the time to visit the museum at 2736 Lower Glenrosa Road and learn about Westbank's interesting Heritage.
