The community is invited to the official opening of the new City Hall/Library Building on Saturday, June 29, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 3731 Old Okanagan Hwy.

West Kelowna’s first, purpose-built City Hall/Library Building is designed to serve our dynamic and growing community. Located next to Memorial Park and Johnson Bentley Memorial Aquatic Centre, it provides the Westside with a greater civic centre area and is a true gathering place for our community.

The free official opening festivities will include kids’ activities, face painting, a BBQ and refreshments, music and pre-registered guided tours. We hope to see you there!

Before or after stopping by the City Hall/Library Building celebration, residents can also enjoy the exciting complementary festivities taking place at Westside Multiculturism Day in the adjacent Memorial Park. The Westbank Museum Society is organizing and hosting the annual event, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 29. Multiculturalism Day festivities will feature 30 cultural pavilions, live performances, educational opportunities and activities, food sampling, food vendors and more!
