Okanagan Town Crier Bruce Klippenstein hailed the public to the event which started at the Peachland Museum at 1:30 pm with President Barbara Dionne making a presentation speech and Mayor Fortin cutting the ribbon surrounded by members of the Peachland Fire and Rescue Brigade who largely funded the construction project. The ceremony proceeded with the antique fire hose-cart (which the new building houses for display purposes) being drawn to the Rotary Pavilion in Heritage park. There at 2 pm a cake was cut and served to the public.

March 27 to April 13, 2019 1pm and 7:30pm (Dinner at 6pm) Kelowna Actors Studio In a small town in Louisiana, six women gather at the local beauty salon to share the ups and downs of their lives. Outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoo and advice, with the help of her shy new assistant, Annelle. Local curmudgeon, Ouiser, and eccentric millionaire, Clairee, snipe at each other, while local social leader, M’lynn plans her daughter Shelby’s wedding. When tragedy strikes, however, the women pull together in this play about life, laughter, love, loss, and the inner strength that helps us go on. |

This international success reached new acclaim in London and on Broadway when revived in 2008. Warning - Content suitable only for adults ages 18 and up. Equus has graphic violence and nudity, intense staging, graphic elements, violence, course language, sexual situations, strobe lights, fog, e cigarette usage, and loud sounds.

Bravely Venture into the Fraser River ValleyGold Mountain Dream! – created by the Royal BC Museum in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of History – focuses on the personal stories and sacrifices of Chinese migrants in the 1850s as they landed on British Columbia shores in search of gold. The exhibition is a fascinating account of adventure, heartbreak and social upheaval. It explores how the gold rush not only changed landscapes and lives in BC, but how this monumental event changed China, as people flocked to a rugged land in search of fortune.
Through archival photographs and detailed storytelling, Gold Mountain Dream! tells the story of how everything changed during this fevered era, as class and racial barriers were broken down and people seized the extraordinary opportunities that glittered before them.
The exhibition runs from September 17, 2018 to January 5, 2019. It is bilingual, with content in English and Chinese.

Date: Saturday, September 15 2018.
