The Okanagan Choral Society (1995) is an organization that supports choral and vocal music in the Okanagan. Its range of activities includes:
- choral newsletter
- vocal workshops
- hosting out-of-town choirs

Our normal season runs from October to May, with occasional concerts in the summer, to accommodate touring choirs from outside the Okanagan.
