Naramata is one of only 4 Canadian towns to receive the Cittaslow designation. Cittaslow is an organization founded in Italy and inspired by the Slow Food movement. The goals include improving the quality of life in towns by slowing down its overall pace, especially in a city's use of spaces and the flow of life and traffic through them. The Naramata Slow Community Group was formed to uphold and celebrate the goals of Cittaslow International in Naramata. Naramata Slow Mission Statement By establishing dialogue and awareness between local producers and consumers, we strive to create a community which values and appreciates its land, bounty and local artisans. Recognizing and celebrating traditions, events, organizations and people that are fundamental to a Naramata way of life.
