Thompson Okanagan Tourism Centre Reopens with Inclusive Design Enhancements
The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Inspiration Centre has reopened on the Okanagan Connector (Highway 97C) in Peachland, featuring a new design aimed at enhancing the visitor experience. The renovation, managed by the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA), emphasizes inclusivity and cultural respect, particularly towards the Syilx, Nlaka’pamux, and Secwépemc Peoples. The updated facility includes a modern glass entry pavilion and a refreshed façade, designed to create a welcoming atmosphere for travelers entering the Thompson Okanagan Region. The project was funded by several partners, including the CleanBC Communities Fund, the Province of British Columbia’s Destination Development Fund, the Government of Canada’s Enabling Accessibility Fund, and Indigenous Tourism BC.
