| KNC Members' MeetingsKNC Members meetings are every third Thursday evening of every month except for December, July and August. On November 18th, a 'Hybrid" meeting was held at the First Lutheran Church with many members joining us on Zoom from their homes. (Thanks IT team). There was a very informative presentation by Chris Lewis from Tourism Kelowna who talked about trends in tourism in the Okanagan again and the many amazing things for local residents and visitors alike in the Kelowna area. Mark January 20th, 7 pm for our next General Meeting. We will be welcoming Jordan Coble, Councillor for Westbank First Nation, as our guest speaker. Jordan was one of the original attendees of the Westbank Indian Band School (now Sensisyusten). He is a graduate of UBCO and has also completed a 4 year adult immersion language program at Syilx Language House. He has been a significant influence in creating the Sncewips Heritage Museum. On Thursday February17th, we hope to be socializing over a glass of wine and chocolates (a couple of Brenda's favourite things), so keep that evening open as well!
