Hey everyone! My name’s Fin, I’m 19 and have just moved to Kelowna from England. I’m going to Okanagan College and don’t really know many people here yet, so I’d love to make some friends and find some people to go out with on Halloween.
If anyone around my age has plans and wouldn’t mind me tagging along, feel free to drop me a message! I know it’s a bit of a stretch asking on Reddit, but I thought it was worth a try 😂

There are no shortage of beautiful places near the water, and beautiful places to watch the sunset. But do you know of somewhere in Kelowna/West Kelowna that can do both? I would love your recommendations for spots facing east where I can watch the sunrise on a beach.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone
Is charcoal BBQ okay in parks around Kelowna? And does anyone know any parks or spots where it’s allowed?

Looking to have a fun day to grab some pumpkins. Currently looking at McMillan Farms but would love some suggestions, thank you!

Hey everyone! There’s been an abandoned bike tossed in some bushes by my apartment for about a week. It’s been spray painted black so no markers. Will the police take it do you think? I’d hate to think of someone missing their bike!

I know we can get grouped help through IH. My question is, does anyone know of a BPD group that's not connected to IH? I know there was one, but from what I've seen, it's no longer active.

TIA

Hey Im new to photography (only a year) and Im hoping i can make some friends who will adventure with me and possibly be a subject for a few pictures. Im 19M. Uhhh let me know if interested!

Has anyone else noticed some sort of homeless/drug gathering that happens on Leon near Pandosy? They sometimes try talking to me as I pass, which is why I generally avoid passing through there at that time. Is that just a normal downtown thing? They do have some pretty good music tho

Tom Dyas should see this win less as a mandate and more as a warning. It was a close, deeply divided race, and that should tell him the city isn’t fully confident in his leadership. He should lead with humility, recognize that division, and work to earn the trust of those who didn’t vote for him.

Is there any wicked good deals on groceries or other items around the city? In Saskatoon, they have PBR auction which you can buy cases of fruit for $10. Box of bananas for five bucks. I know they get everything from the coop trying to clear out their inventory.
Is there something like that Kelowna???

What’s going on in there? 🤔

I have 2 sport coat/blazers that I need to take 1-2 inches off the sleeves. Never used a tailor in town and can’t afford to have these ruined. I had Moore’s tailor a pair of pants I bought there and they were unwearabley bad.

Anyone who can give my wife a ride on jetski or on a boat ?

Neck and neck for mayor!

I’m so sorry that happened to you. Send me a message and I will provide you the information.

Does anybody know if any u-pick apple orchards are still open today?

If anyone witnessed a collision in Kelowna east of Springfield and Gordon intersection please DM or comment below. The collision occurred at approximately 4:39pm.

Is it just me, or is the information desk at Kelowna Airport never staffed?

On multiple occasions when I've needed assistance, there's been absolutely nobody at the desk. It's honestly pretty frustrating, especially considering that an airport is one of the places where people are most likely to need help or directions.

What's the point of having an information desk if there's never anyone there when you need them?

Has anyone else experienced this, or have I just been unlucky?

I recently discovered that only a third of eligible voters actually voted in the 2022 municipal election. Voting in the municipal election directly impacts decisions on crime, housing, and traffic. I think it is fair to say we all want change on these issues. I don't think enough people know that these are issues where decisions are made right here in Kelowna, not in Victoria or Ottawa.

So if you really want to be part of the decsion fo vote.

As the title says! I will be in Kelowna over the next weekend and will have a fair bit of time to myself. I would like to check out some local hoops scene's where I can get some shots up or play pick up games. Anyone got any leads? Thanks in advance!

I'm looking at buying a 20-year-old Lexus from Calgary (unfortunately can't find any good listings for it in BC), but I'm trying to make sure that I can actually insure the thing before I go making plans to pick it up. Obviously, I would expect that stuff like the glass, tires, brakes, suspension and drivetrain have to be in perfect working order, but is there more stuff I should know about, and which shops would be the most reasonable/lenient with passing the car? It doesn't have to be in Kelowna, obviously, since I'll be driving from Calgary; I just want to know the best place that will actually pass the car. Thanks so much!

Posting this partly as a heads up about a local org a lot of people don't fully know about, and partly because there's a low-effort way to support them on Sunday.
The Central Okanagan Hospice Association (COHA) has been around for over 40 years, serving everywhere from Peachland to Lake Country. What surprised me when I got involved is how much they do beyond the bedside. Trained volunteers sit with people in their final days whether that's at home, in hospital, or at Hospice House. They run grief and bereavement counselling for adults, and they have dedicated programs for kids and teens who've lost someone, ages 5 to 19. All of it is free, and none of it is gated by income. They lean heavily on donations to keep it that way.

Here's the easy part. This weekend, October 18, Kettle River Brewing is donating 15% of everything they sell that day to COHA, noon to 10pm. There's a trivia night in the evening too from 6-8pm. So you can grab a pint, hang out, and a chunk of your tab goes to hospice care in our community without you doing anything extra.

Full disclosure since this is my local sub: my wife and I are fundraising for COHA through Swinging with the Stars this year, and this pub night is one of our events. But the beer is good the food is Fantastic and the cause is real regardless of who's posting it.

Kettle River Brewing 731 Baillie Ave.
Would be great to see some of you there.
