Committee for the development of this exhibition.

entitled "Battlefield Medicine" and a satellite exhibition in the main
lobby of KGH. The public is invited to come visit all three exhibit
locations.

awareness of the agricultural, wine-producing, military, and cultural
heritages of the Okanagan. The Okanagan Heritage Museum is located at
