What a special day for the Central Okanagan Heritage Society!

A huge heartfelt thank you to the Bennett and Tozer families, who donated the historic Bennett House to COHS. The society was handed the keys to the house by Steve Bennett.

To help COHS get started in looking after this historic building, the Bennett Tozer families also had Kristine Bugayong, the executive director of the Central Okanagan Foundation, present a cheque to Sarah Porter, COHS managing director.

What a Great Day!!
