Maybe you live in Naramata. Maybe you vacation here. Maybe it’s a mix of both, and you spend summer’s here year after year.
Whatever your story, you’re sure to have some memories attached to Centre Beach. The quieter cousin of Manitou Beach, Centre Beach is a lovely sandy stretch dotted with shady trees and amazing views. And with only a few weeks to spare, Centre Beach is at risk of being sold to developers. As the Naramata Centre undergoes a redevelopment, they are needing to sell portions of the existing property, which includes Centre Beach.
Local community group NaramataSlow is spearheading a public appeal for crowdfunding, with the goal of saving Centre Beach as a public park, rather than allowing it to be sold to private developers. The project needs $850,000 to be pledged by October 31st — and they are over half way to the goal!
The Naramata Centre is very graciously working with the community by offering the lot at an appealing price, and the RDOS has secured funding to assist with the purchase. If Naramata’s Centre Beach is important to you, please contribute what you can.

Show your love for Centre Beach by making a pledge, and then NaramataSlow will tie a beautiful green ribbon on your door. We’ll be showcasing #naramatagreenribboncampaign DN member doors over on Instagram and Facebook!
