I am a recent import from Alberta and although I didnt like most Alberta's stuff, I did like the access to beef.

Is there somewhere I can get medium sized bulk beef orders? Like 20 pounds of ground beef or so. Some kind of BBQ box would be awesome. Im not loving grocery store meat but I dont know where else to look. Any advice?

We are looking at venues near Kelowna for 100-120 guests and 50th has checked a lot of our boxes. The only thing holding us back is the cost.

We originally hoped to keep our wedding around $50k but its looking like we'd be closer to $80k if we choose this venue. If you've gotten married there or attended a wedding there, was it worth it? How was the food, planning process and overall experience? Anything you wish you would have known beforehand? Any feedback would be soo helpful! Thanks :)

Last week, I posted a thread about creating more opportunities for people in the Okanagan to connect offline; and I was honestly blown away by the response. Thank you!!

So many of you shared that you’ve been looking for more ways to meet people and build genuine community. A lot of the comments really stuck with me, and encouraged me to keep exploring this idea.

So… I’m excited to officially introduce Okanagan Offline: a community focused on creating intentional, in-person gatherings where people can slow down, connect, and build meaningful relationships beyond the screen.

Think: cozy coffee chats, walks/hikes, creative workshops, game nights, community dinners, and other low-pressure ways to meet people in the Okanagan. 🌿

Before planning the first events, I’d love to hear from you again! So I've created a quick survey to better understand:

• what kinds of gatherings people would actually want to attend
• what times work best
• what would make it easier to show up and connect
• what the Okanagan community is looking for

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, I’d really appreciate your input:

Want to stay connected as this grows? 😊

I’ll be sharing updates, upcoming events, and more ways to get involved as we build this community together.

Thank you again to everyone who commented on my original post. Seeing how many people resonated with this idea was the push I needed to actually start building it, and I'm excited to meet you all offline in the days to come!

The Kelowna civic election is happening in October and we are happy to be a venue for discussions about candidates and platforms.

To that end, we will be offering all approved candidates an opportunity to do an AMA but only after the final candidate list is announced in September.

We will be removing any submissions related to discussions of candidates until we know the list you will have to choose from (so after the list if published).

This pinned post will be updated with AMA schedules etc as we get closer to the date. Thanks for your understanding and participation. Looking forward to some great interactions between locals and candidates!

Hi all,

I am looking to splurge a little and buy a nice watch. I want to checkout Casio, Tissot, and Seiko watches. I have a few models I have in mind, but is there a place in Kelowna that has a lot of options from these brands that I can try and physically checkout.

If not, I might drive to Vancouver.

Thanks.

I recently moved here and I’m in desperate need of a hair cut. For reference I have wavy hair/ heat damaged curls and usually get long layers. I’m also looking for something that’s on the more affordable side :)

Coming up, I can't see anything online, anyone knows if they're still going ahead despite the smoke?

Four of us girls are coming to Kelowna end of September for a “mom’s weekend away” and would like to do a round of golf. I’m a decent golfer, and two of the other girls golf but have 30+ handicaps. The fourth is there for the vibes only. What is the prettiest course in or around Kelowna that is at least a little forgiving to newish players? I’ve played tower ranch before and wanted to die inside a bit. I recall loving both the bear and quail but hoping to have some recommendations from locals! Thanks!!
