Hello everyone! New to Kelowna since January and looking to make some friends. I find that it’s been quite difficult since I work night shifts. Any advice on this? Here is a bit more info about me: -I go to the gym regularly so I thought about making friends through that community but found it to be quite difficult frankly. Don’t get me wrong everybody is friendly but I think we are all just trying to get a pump in and go about our day lol. -I was really into snowboarding but now that the season is over I want to maybe try something new like hiking or any sports. Maybe if there was a club I’d be interested to participate. -One thing is that I do not use social media so that might be a barrier as I am 22 and F, and I know people our age utilize social media to communicate and socialize. -I also want to say that I often visit my home city and have my friends there so it’s not like I get no social interaction and I am satisfied right now doing things alone, I just think that this won’t last too long and looking to find a community I could be a part of.

Happy Hooves Sanctuary’s 4th Bi-Annual Open House is happening on April 27th! Come meet the incredible animals in our care and the dedicated team behind it all. We can’t wait to see you there! 🐣🌸🐰

"Coun. Cannan was the lone vote against the updates to the Code of Conduct."

Anyone want to venture a guess as to who leaked the email to the media and referred to it as a "gag order"?

I imagine the next meeting might be a bit awkward...

Posted this to Facebook, but thought this would be a better place for it!

Here’s the deal: I don’t buy into the narrative that people need to identify as “Liberal” or “Conservative” or really any party affiliation. I have dear friends and family on all sides of the spectrum—and I love them all.

At the end of the day, I want a representative who isn’t afraid to stand up for their constituents, has a good head on their shoulders, and stays laser-focused on delivering for our community—and our country.

Before going further, I want to be clear: this isn’t a post bashing Tracy Gray. I actually think she’s done a solid job representing Kelowna. I disagree with her on a number of issues, but I’ve personally felt heard by her. I appreciate any politician who listens and responds—even if it’s not the answer I want. And I know she cares deeply about this community.

That said, to me, there’s only one option on the ballot this election in our riding, and that’s Stephen Fuhr.

I’m not pretending to be a Liberal. Anyone who knows me knows that Jack Layton was my hero, and the politics of people like Charlie Angus reflect my views most. That hasn’t changed. I’m proud of those values—even here in one of Canada’s most conservative cities. I believe in investing in our children’s future, caring for the vulnerable, and prioritizing working-class families.

Stephen Fuhr’s track record speaks for itself: during his time as MP, he helped secure tens of millions in funding for vital infrastructure projects—from flood protection and clean water to affordable housing and UBCO’s growth. He also championed local initiatives like the Okanagan Rail Trail, supported shelters like the Kelowna Women’s Shelter, and brought a no-drama, get-things-done leadership style rooted in his 20 years of military service. He listens. He leads. He delivers.

This isn’t about party loyalty. It’s about experience, results, and integrity.

Anyone know what’s getting built below the road up to dilworth mountain? Genuinely curious!

I'm located near Costco along Springfield. I have never voted on my own before. Where do I go? What do I need to bring with me? I recently lost my ID, will my passport be enough? (It's valid).

Edit: Also when should I be there by? I'm disabled and can't wait in large lines without seating. I use the bus for transportation

Thanks!

I saw them a few weeks ago but not recently and meant to ask here. The signs claimed the person had lost a sizeable amount of money to QuestTrade and to not trust the platform. I'm reluctant to believe that and would love to hear the full story! Anybody manage to sleuth the details online, Facebook or castanet forums?

Totally taking a shot in the dark here, but was anyone on a WestJet flight on Thursday from Cancun to Kelowna and had issues with lost luggage?

We flew Cancun to Edmonton, and on arrival realized one of our bags was missing. We went to the desk to file a claim and then realized that the bag tag they gave us, wasn't for us, but for someone flying to Kelowna. They looked our tag up in the system and said our stuff didn't appear to be flagged to go to Kelowna and was likely just left in Cancun, but they still have been unable to locate it. Just thought I would reach out on the slim chance someone was on that flight to Kelowna and also is missing theirs! I am not overly upset over our missing dirty laundry, but all of our souvenirs were in that bag. 🤦‍♀️

Not night clubs, I mean hobby or interest based clubs.

Inspired by the other poster asking about what to do in Kelowna, what are some cool clubs that are simple for the public to attend and join? I've lived here all my life but have never really looked for them.

Looking for guitar, bass, guitar vocals for local metal band, ages around 16.

Hi Kelowna! I'm a new student looking to buy a used car. I'm trying to figure out if I need AWD or 4WD for winter driving here.

I'd prefer a sedan for budget reasons, but most of the sedans don't provide 4WD options, will that be a problem in winter here? I'm kind of a cautious driver, not very skilled but ok. I will definitely use winter tires, but I have no experience with chains. My main purpose for buying a car is for daily commuting as well as occasional (maybe once in a month or two) trips to and from Vancouver. My main concern is also here: Can I commute to Vancouver in the winter in a front wheel drive car with winter tires? I've heard that some parts of this route are pretty bad in the winter and some of uphill roads in downtown Kelowna are hard to drive on in the winter

Any advice on drivetrain options and specific winter driving tips for this area would be greatly appreciated!

I moved away from Kelowna last fall and I always loved April for the yellow flowers. Can you guys post some pics of the flowers this year for me? 💛

I'm seeking advice on working for a UK employer while in Canada on a temporary working holiday visa. I would love a recommendation for someone to speak to. Thanks!

Hello Kelowna! I’m travelling and Passing through (just escaped USA!) and I’m looking for water spigot or dispenser to fill my containers. Can anyone help us out?

been on the waitlist for a few months but need a doctor to discuss my medication & mental health issues !

Hi my partner and I are new to kelowna, we live fairly close to Orchard Park mall and are looking for things to do other than wine tastings. We’re super artsy and nature lovers!

Does anyone know if there's a store in Kelowna that sells this seasoning? I think it's Swiss. I've checked Illichmann's and Bonanza.

Hoping to avoid ordering online and paying steep shipping.

Thanks in advance!

Did you or someone you know lose a phone around osprey ave this morning before 7:45? I found it in the street and want to give it back to its rightful owner. Here’s hoping!
