The Future of Our Music Scene

The Central Okanagan Music Strategy (COMS) was a community led initiative to create a music strategy for the Central Okanagan area. It was born out of the necessity to develop a strong, culturally vibrant community by:

  • Connecting people with similar interests so they can engage in collective action
  • Developing community support for music
  • Increasing support of live music
  • Creating an understanding of the current music landscape
  • Setting priorities for the future development of music in the Central Okanagan
