] Kelowna is a city on Okanagan Lake in the Okanagan Valley in the southern interior of British Columbia. It is the 20th-largest metropolitan area in Canada.

This has resulted in the construction of taller buildings, including One Water Street, a 36-story building that is the tallest in Kelowna. Other high-rise 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…

This month, we celebrate the 15th Anniversary of Canadian Xpress. Founded back in 2009 after the virtual airline many of us were flying with suddenly shutdown without warning. Five of those members agreed to meet in Montreal a few months later with the goal of building not the biggest virtual airline but one free of restrictive routes, bidding schedules or focus on following real-world type operating models. What came out of that weekend was Canadian Xpress and 15 years later we continue to operate with a large selection of both freeware and payware aircraft, an open route policy that allows pilots to fly where they want when they want as well as a large selection of…
