Over the last 86 years the 害羞草研究所 has served the Central Okanagan 害羞草研究所� and over the last 86 years it has printed a whole lot of papers. A conservative estimate puts it at about 8,000 editions. The new Black Press Okanagan digital team, based right here in Kelowna, wanted to utilize this amazing treasure trove of pieces of our history and share it with you. Each Thursday we will present Cap News Throwback Thursday for a fun little peak into the past, and a chance for the digital team to climb through the records room. Today we present the 害羞草研究所 edition害羞草研究所� Wednesday Feb. 16, 1994. This week害羞草研究所檚 throwback was not even that long ago.
