Thank you to everyone who nominated us for Best Arts Company or Organization. We are truly honoured to have received Silver in this category.

Congratulations to Kelowna Actors’ Studio (Gold) and Ballet Kelowna (Bronze).

We’re also honoured to celebrate alongside some incredible local winners this year:
Alex Fong: Gold, Best Local Visual Artist
Great Way Martial Arts: Silver, Best Martial Arts Studio

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your votes, your encouragement, and your belief in the value of the arts. We are truly thankful to be part of this community.
