The Central Okanagan Heritage Society is asking city council to have the entire 1.26-acre Benvoulin Heritage Park and all its buildings formally designated as a heritage site. Right now, only the church carries that classification. “We are just doing everything we can to make sure that building carries on forever, ideally,” society president Don Knox told iNFOnews.ca. There are about 200 buildings on Kelowna’s Heritage Registry but that does little to protect them from being modified or even demolished.
