The Canadian Bar Association, BC Branch, in partnership with the Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon Bar Associations, invite you to join the Yale County legal community for the 2026 Yale County Bench & Bar Dinner.

This annual event brings together solicitors, litigators and judges from across Yale County for an evening of camaraderie and celebration. Returning to the beautiful Harvest Golf Club, the Bench & Bar Dinner offers a unique opportunity to connect with colleagues from every practice area, strengthen professional relationships and recognize the contributions of Yale County's legal community.
