The Kelowna Museums Society and the Kelowna Art Gallery Association are among several heritage institutions to receive funding from the federal government.
Canada’s Minister of Canadian Heritage and Multiculturalism, Pablo Rodriguez, announced investments totalling $905,752 for 19 organizations across the province.
This funding has been provided through three components of the Museums Assistance Program (MAP): Access to Heritage, Exhibition Circulation Fund, and Collections Management.
“Museums and heritage institutions play such an important role in preserving and honouring our cultural diversity and heritage, allowing all of us to discover, share and learn about Canada’s unique stories,” said Rodriguez. “Our government is proud to support these organizations across British Columbia as they continue to enrich the lives of Canadians and visitors alike by providing access to valuable heritage exhibitions, collections and resources.”
Kelowna will receive the funding through the Exhibition Circulation Fund, with the Art Gallery receiving $15,000 for one project and the Museums Society $16,200 for two projects.
Other Okanagan organizations benefiting from the funding announcement include Princeton, Summerland, and Vernon.
