OACBS Chapter is located in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of Kelowna British Columbia Canada. We are part of an international organization called The Antique & Classic Boat Society, (ACBS).
Our membership covers most of Western Canada with members from as far East as Calgary and as far West as Victoria. We also have members from Northwestern USA so we are international as well.

ACBS promotes an International boat show in conjunction with an annual meeting and local chapter sponsored events. Every other year, a restoration symposium is organized presenting seminars headed-up by noted experts in the areas of antique and classic boat history, restoration, and new technology as it relates to vintage boating.
What is the magic about setting out on the water in a boat that was built entirely of wood as long ago as the early 1900’s? Or how about a classic fiberglass boat built in the 1950’s complete with fins and even headlights? Well, a word that comes to mind is “history”, followed closely by “fun”. Part of the magic is the friendships that develops by belonging to a club that encourages the restoration and use of these boats.
 We look forward to seeing you at one or more of our shows and sharing with you our love of old boats. Yours in happy and safe boating Bruce Wilson President – The Okanagan Antique & Classic Boat Society.
