This is the latest new from our Society.  Please post on the museum 
weblist.  Thanks

The S.S. Sicamous Restoration Society is pleased to announce that the 
Community Foundation of the South Okanagan has awarded them a grant of 
$8,900.00 for the further restoration of their 1914 S.S. Naramata 
tugboat, once owned by CPR.  The tugboat has intrigued residents of 
Penticton since its arrival in 1991.  The restoration society took 
ownership of the tug in 2000 and has since spent 145,000 in restoration 
of this heritage tugboat.  This grant will see the repair and 
replacement of all cabin doors, replacement of glass, vandalism proofing 
and the final stage of a security system.  Once this is activated, the 
large and unsightly 10 foot high metal fence will be removed, thus 
enhancing Penticton's Okanagan Inland Marine Heritage Park.  We wish to 
thank all those of the Foundation for their continued support in 
preserving one of B.C.'s unique heritage attractions.  Come visit the 
restored 1914 S.S. Sicamous sternwheeler and the stern salon of the 1907 
S.S. Okanagan sternwheeler.  RENTAL FACILITIES AVAILABLE FOR CORPORATE 
MEETINGS, WEDDININGS, EVENTS AND SPECIAL OCCASIONS.
