Explore over a dozen exhibition booths to learn about parks and our environment, volunteer programs and local wildlife. There is no shortage of fun to be had at the Expo. Exhibition highlights include Nora, a gopher snake, at the Okanagan Similkameen Stewardship Society booth, a rescue vehicle display by the Central Okanagan Search and Rescue Society and histories and oral stories of the syilx people shared at the Sncewips Heritage Museum booth.
“The Expo offers a family-friendly opportunity to connect with our regional parks and all they have to offer,” says Isabella Hodson, RDCO Parks Visitor Services Supervisor. “Join our parks staff and volunteers to learn about local wildlife, culture, history and so much more!”
In addition to the exhibition booths, attendees can enjoy a variety of presentations in the theatre both days. Presentation topics include information about bats, connecting with the sylix lands, creatures of the Okanagan and making the outdoors accessible.
