Join us on a journey through the early days of the Okanagan, where the footsteps of Asian pioneers paved the way for a vibrant, diverse community. Each story is a window into their courage, resilience, and lasting contributions. Whether you’re a history lover or a community member eager to rediscover local heritage, our reflections bring their legacy to life through heartfelt storytelling, rare photographs, and meaningful conversations that honor their spirit.
From the early pioneers who built new lives on unfamiliar land to today’s leaders shaping Canada’s future, Asian Canadians have become an essential part of our nation’s story.
Here, we bring history to life — sharing powerful stories, celebrating unsung heroes, and exploring the moments that define the proud past and bright future of Asian Canadians.
Learn more about the different multicultural organizations we have in the Okanagan.
Read about the stories of immigrants who moved to the Okanagan and how they came to live here.
