It was announced last week by Tourism Minister Lana Popham that the Island Stage will be receiving just under $1 million in funding to rejuvenate its Waterfront Park location, something that Mayor Tom Dyas said will make it a 91Ƶspectacular venue91Ƶ for the performing arts in 91Ƶone of Kelowna91Ƶs most loved parks.91Ƶ

91ƵI am really excited as I know the enhancements will elevate the visitor event experience and have a significant impact on our local economy with the influx of more and potentially diverse events.91Ƶ

Farther south, Kelowna91Ƶs newest waterfront park on Cedar Avenue will use a $390,000 grant to build a public pier, something that will surely be a hit with Okanagan paddlers.

The park is set to open early this summer.
