Stewards of Kelowna’s South Slopes
The Friends of the South Slopes Society advocates for – and provides access to – connected, well-maintained recreation areas across the South Slopes of Kelowna, including Myra Canyon and the Kettle Valley Railway, by constructing and maintaining public facilities, trails, and signs; and working with government partners to protect and expand natural areas.
Your support ensures our natural areas can be sustainably enjoyed now and for our future generations.
