The Kelowna Heritage Grants Program encourages the preservation of heritage buildings in Kelowna and furthers public awareness of the significance of our irreplaceable heritage resources.

The Kelowna Heritage Grants Program meets regularly to review grant applications for heritage building restorations and for initiatives that raise awareness of Kelowna’s heritage. 

The City of Kelowna annual allotment has helped many heritage building owners restore and maintain their heritage buildings. The Kelowna Heritage Grants Program administered through the Central Okanagan Hertiage Society (COHS) and funded by the City of Kelowna continues this important program.
