Appointed in 1996 in recognition of decades of outstanding community leadership, heritage preservation, and cultural contribution to the province.
Queen’s Jubilee Medals

The Bohemian Curator
Back home she was busy collecting things. And then collecting more things.
The Library
People would say to me have you read all of these books, and I would say no, but my dad did!
The Sunlit Dining Room
Yes, that’s your path to your very private lakefront just across the road to the right.
The Art of Entertaining
Her preferred way of being: Hosting. The hostess with the mostest.
Ruth believed life was meant to be shared. The house was designed for gathering: long celebratory dinners, spontaneous cocktail evenings on the patio, garden parties with fresh peaches, and lively debate long into the starry Okanagan night.
Whoever steps into this home inherits not just real estate, but an authentic tradition of hospitality and warmth that can continue for decades to come.
