It is the federal funding record, compiled by NationWorks from the Government of Canada's open data. Nothing here comes from the Nation. If you work for Okanagan, you can claim it — and get a website, a services directory and a jobs board on your own address, free to publish and yours to control.

By year
By agreement start date. 2026 is drawn hollow because federal disclosure lags by months and the year has not finished reporting — not because funding stopped.
