Charter & Regional Bus Tours Updated: October 9, 2009
UPDATE!Charter Bus Tour - cancelled. Due to an insufficient number
of bookings by the deadline
date to offset BCMA's financial
commitment, the BCMA has
regretfully had to cancel this
charter tour.
Passengers have been advised
to book flights, or find alternate
means of transportation.
BCMA wishes to thank those who responded in the short window given us and Charter Bus Lines for its support and assistance. We will be looking into future charters as a FUN & economical way to meet at the BCMA's annual provincial Conference.

Museums, art galleries, historic sites and heritage properties throughout the South Okanagan region are invited to offer the BCMA's Survivor Osoyoos participants tour and gift shop incentives during their stay in Osoyoos, BC.
The Host Hotels in Osoyoos are extending their special BCMA rates for three days prior to Survivor Osoyoos and three days after Survivor Osoyoos, to allow participants and visitors extra time to better experience the cultural diversity and richness of this "Warmest Welcome" region of British Columbia.
There are a number of ways to reach Survivor Osoyoos participants:
