Osoyoos Elks Lodge #436
In March 2009, the Elks moved to their present location. The building was renovated to include adding a handicapped washroom, remolded the kitchen, and a ramp was added. On the main level they built a bar, office and meeting area.
They enter floats in the Cherry Festival, Canada Day Parade and the Easter Parade annually and also run the Beer Gardens for the July 1st Canada Day and Cherry Festival celebrations.
The Osoyoos’ Elks along with other local Elks Lodges continue with the annual Apple Drive. They distribute apples and pears to the Food Banks of North Central BC.
The Elks make donations to various charitable organizations, including the Special Olympics, Multiple Sclerosis, Relay for Life, Air Cadets, Cops for Kids, Kiwanis and the Royalty Program. They also support the Royalty Program in Osoyoos and have given numerous bursaries to deserving to assist in continuing their education.
The Lodge continues to contribute some $35,000.00, including to the Elks and Royal Purple Fund for Children, and their own unique BC Children’s Camp Society consisting of four camps designated for children only, free of charge in four geographical areas of the province.
