KELOWNA, British Columbia, Canada (4K)

KELOWNA, British Columbia, Canada (4K): Kelowna is a city on Okanagan Lake in the Okanagan Valley in the southern interior of British Columbia, Canada. It serves as the head office of the Regional District of Central Okanagan. The name Kelowna derives from the Okanagan word kiʔláwnaʔ, referring to a grizzly bear.
Kelowna is the province's third-largest metropolitan area (after Vancouver and Victoria), while it is the seventh-largest city overall and the largest in the Interior. It is the 20th-largest metropolitan area in Canada. The city proper encompasses 211.85 km2 (81.80 sq mi), and the census metropolitan area 2,904.86 km2 (1,121.57 sq mi). Kelowna's estimated population in 2020 is 222,748 in the metropolitan area and 142,146 in the city proper. After a period of suburban expansion into the surrounding mountain slopes, the city council adopted a long-term plan intended to increase density instead - particularly in the downtown core. This has resulted in the construction of taller buildings, including One Water Street - a 36-story building that is the tallest in Kelowna. Other highrise developments have already broken ground or been approved since then, including a 42-storey tower on Leon Avenue which will be the tallest building in the city, and among the tallest in B.C.[13]
Nearby communities include the City of West Kelowna (also referred to as Westbank and Westside) to the west, across Okanagan Lake; Lake Country and Vernon to the north; Peachland to the southwest; and Summerland and Penticton to the south.

When was this filmed?

[@MindTravelsChannel]

Most of the footage is from the past few years.

[@CANMONQUE]

@@MindTravelsChannel Thanks for the quick reply. Very much appreciated. Kelowna such an incredible place and was wondering if was before or after the fires. Now I know. All the best from Québec for all the beautiful Okanagan.

[@MindTravelsChannel]

@@CANMONQUE Greetings from Ontario (near Toronto)! I can tell you that the footage is definitely from before the wildfires.

This place could and should be the Las Vegas of the north more so then Niagara Falls.

[@MindTravelsChannel]

Interesting -- make it a casino haven?

[@Vice81]

Be as good a place as any. It's got nicer surroundings then Vegas and arguably the best place in all of Canada to be a casino haven. You could do things like tie gambling profits to eco-restoration projects.

[@MindTravelsChannel]

Thanks for sharing that. It's unfortunate to hear that you want out. How has it been ruined? Too much urbanization? Too much tourism?
