Situated on the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake mid-way between Penticton in the south and Vernon in the north, Kelowna residents and tourists alike find the lake offers wonderful opportunities for boating, swimming or fishing. The nearby mountains attract hikers, skiers and outdoor enthusiasts of all descriptions. There are three major ski hills within a one-hour drive - Big White, Silver Star and Apex.

Kelowna's airport is the 11th busiest in Canada with approximately 36 flights a day; it's also one of the fastest growing in North America. A multi-year airport expansion plan is underway to better serve the needs of the travelling public. In addition Skyreach Place, a 6,000-seat multi-purpose facility that’s home to the Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League, attracts major entertainers and events. A new arts centre is in the planning stages, and the downtown will boast another significant waterfront park early in the new millennium.
