The seven chamber of commerce in the Okanagan came together along with the Westside Board of Trade to host the annual Valley First Business After Hours at The Cove Lakeside Resort.
The event has been taking place for 18 years and allows businesses from the valley to meet, mingle, and learn more about each other. More than 400 people gathered at the Cove Lakeside Resort to talk business thanks to the combined efforts of all eight organizations.

Over 40 business had booths on site in order to give more information to attendees. The event had many local wineries, like Kalala Organic Estate Winery sampling some of their most delicious wines. The Cove also catered the event showcasing vegetables grown in the kitchen's nearby garden.
