The society is composed of branches that represent semi-autonomous organizations focused on their local communities from Osoyoos to Salmon Arm. These seven branches have at least two or three meetings each year and host lectures, picnics, tours, and banquets. They are involved in a variety of local history projects. Articles of historical importance to each branch are submitted to the branch editor who vets the essay and passes it onto the editor of Okanagan History. Each branch is represented on the Executive Council which meets in Kelowna three times a year. The Annual General Meeting of the society rotates through each of the branches.
Members and guests are welcome to attend the following upcoming events:
August 11 - Vernon Branch Pioneer Picnic, Coldstream Park
August 24 - Kelowna Branch Family Day, Father Pandosy Mission
The winner of the 2013 student video contest is Brittany Meyer for her video "A Journey down Okanagan Lake with the S.S. Okanagan Sternwheeler."
