Heritage Grants

 
 Heritage Grants Program (CoKHGP)
In 1991 the City of Kelowna created a program whereby grants, using City of Kelowna tax dollars, could be given to those who own buildings on the Kelowna Heritage Register in an effort to help them maintain and conserve their heritage properties.

The Central Okanagan Heritage Society took over the administration of the program in 2008. The City of Kelowna Heritage Grants Program’s committee and manager work with heritage property owners to provide guidance and grants for the maintenance, rehabilitation and/or restoration of their heritage buildings.
 
This year’s Information Session is on Thursday, March 6, 2025 at 6:30pm.
It will take place at Reid Hall in Benvoulin Heritage Park, 2279 Benvoulin Road.
Please RSVP: ldauncey.cohs@telus.net 
Everyone is welcome to attend this free public session on how to apply
for the heritage grants program, as well as other heritage-related matters.
