Kelowna BC Information
Kelowna is located in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada. It is situated in the province’s southern interior region and is the Okanagan’s largest city. Known for its stunning natural beauty, huge amount of green space, recreational opportunities, and thriving wine industry, Kelowna is a popular destination for tourists and residents.
The third-largest metro area in the province, Kelowna BC is more than just the original town. The sunny, laid-back city on Okanagan Lake has greatly expanded, boasting several hip neighbourhoods such as West Kelowna, the North End, Lakeshore, and North Kelowna. Kelowna, as well as its cousin Penticton on the other end of the lake, is a stone’s throw from golfing, wine, cider, craft beer tasting, and cycling the reclaimed Kettle Valley rail line. Kelowna easily sells itself as one of the best places in North America to live.
