Kelowna
Kelowna is the Okanagan's largest city and the Valley's first pioneer settlement, established in 1859. The
Valley's fruit industry began here and still flourishes. Orchards, fruit processors and an orchard museum can be toured along with productive wineries. Another important early industry was cattle ranching. While both are still important in the region, industry and tourism has become increasingly important with a growing population.
Kelowna offers the amenities and conveniences of a larger destination but has all of the charm and warmth of a smaller town. While right on the shores of Okanagan Lake, other lakes, hills and accompanying recreational activities are within a 15 minute drive of downtown.
Access: Kelowna is 60 km (37 mi.) north of Penticton on Highway 97 and 395 km (245 mi.) from Vancouver. The area is also serviced by national and regional airlines at Canada's 11th busiest airport, as well as local and national bus lines.
Population:
100,433
