Visitors flock in from across Canada to sip fabulous wine, laze on the beach or carve up the famous champagne powder but what makes people want to live in Kelowna?
We asked a handful of Kelownaites (Kelownians?) what makes their city tick, what people don't know about their hometown and why they love the city they live in. If you live in this lake-side city prepare to swell with pride...and if you don't, get ready to be jealous!
Special thanks to Laura Martini, Bob Purdy, Chris Bedford + Sarah Wolton and her SUP yoga class, Curtis Stone, Kevin Lim, Sonia Sidhu, SunFM, Marissa Young, Ward Willison, Big White, Pam Rader, the participants of Yoga for Stroke, The Heart and Stroke Foundation BC, Colin Basran, Ezra Cipes, Shilo Verhaegen, Rio Branner, Bonnie Penner, Ofri Barmor,Ed Malcolm + Family and all the beautiful people and cute dogs of Kelowna!
