[Sep 28] Canadian Xpress September 2024 Monthly Fly-In

]
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. After a period of suburban expansion into the surrounding mountain slopes, the city council adopted a long-term plan intended to increase density 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 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 B.C.

The exact dates of the first settlement in the Okanagan Valley are unknown, but a northern migration led to the habitation of this area some 9,000 years ago. The Indigenous Syilx people are the first known inhabitants of the region where they continue to live today.
