About Veterans Memorial Park, Okanagan Valley, BC
Veterans Memorial is certainly not a hugely popular attraction in Osoyoos, British Columbia, but it does offer a relaxing place to sit and enjoy the great views of Osoyoos Lake looking towards the U.S.A. The park was created in order to remember the brave men and women who fought in wars for the Canadian Armed Forces. It features several benches and an arrangement of gardens containing many different desert plants from other parts of the world. The gardens boast several species of cold-hardy cacti including the large cholla cactus as well as a few species of yucca.
Osoyoos is part of Canada’s only desert region and is reminiscent of other North American destinations such as Arizona or Californa and has one of the sunniest climates in the country which is precisely why desert plants like cactus and yucca can do so well here. It is also known to be one of the southernmost places in Canada and shares not only a border with the U.S.A. but part of Osoyoos Lake as well.
