About the Okanagan Valley
Situated on the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake mid-way between Penticton and Vernon, Kelowna residents and tourists alike find the lake offers wonderful opportunities for boating, swimming or fishing. The nearby mountains attract hikers, skiers and outdoor enthusiasts of all descriptions. Three major ski hills are within a one-hour drive.
With a population of 115,000, Kelowna is the largest city in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. Bordering Okanagan Lake, Kelowna is well known for its hot summers and temperate winters. The average daytime high during July and August is 27.4 C and the average daytime high during December and January is -0.3 C. The average low is -7.7 C. The total annual precipitation is 366.4 mm. (280.7 mm. of rain and 105.5 cm. of snow).

It has also become the main marketing and distribution centre of the Okanagan Valley, with a flourishing tree fruit industry and a growing light industrial sector that competes on a world scale.

Kelowna General Hospital is the largest and most comprehensive in the southern interior of B.C. with a full treatment cancer clinic, and a new 360,000-square-foot Patient Care Tower.

Named after former Premier William R. Bennett, the bridge is five lanes in width and almost 1063 meters in length. It remains the only floating bridge in Canada.
Lastly the Kelowna International airport is one of Canada’s top ten airports, serving over one million passengers annually, and now offering many nonstop flights to destinations all over the world.
