The Peace Ambassador Community Celebration is an annual event held in West Kelowna, bringing together civic, faith, education, media, and community leaders, as well as members of the public. This celebration is dedicated to fostering peace through an afternoon of discussion, networking, and personal experience. West Kelowna Mayor Gord Milsom presides over the event.

A central component of the celebration is a panel discussion aimed at elucidating the role of peace within the local community. Panelists, including Chaplain Don Richmond, Dr. Arvind Ravindran, and Jen Zielinski, contribute their perspectives. The program extends beyond theoretical discussion, offering participants an introduction to the 'heartfulness approach' for achieving inner peace, reflection, and meditation, founded on the belief that lasting community peace originates with the individual. The core message, "Invest in Peace," highlights the idea that peace can be personally cultivated and collectively shared, creating a neutral platform for people from diverse backgrounds to connect and enhance harmony in the Central Okanagan.
