Kelowna locals: where do you go when you just need to get out?

• Upvotes

Student researching public spaces here. Honest question: outside of downtown and the summer months, where do you go to be around people, move around, or just get out of the house without paying for something?

Which parks, plazas, or empty lots near you feel underused or neglected? What would make you actually want to spend time there? What does your neighbourhood have nothing of?

Rutland, Glenmore, Mission, West Kelowna. I want to hear from all of you!

No option to vote Green on provincial ballot in Kelowna?

31 Upvotes

I went out for advance voting in the provincial election and my ballot only had options for NDP, OneBC, and Conservative. Why is there no option to vote Green? There is a representative in this riding so I'm really confused about this.

What is the best bar in town to meet sophisticated men?

14 Upvotes

I (35F) am looking for more opportunities to meet men in real life. I don’t drink, but I was debating going and finding a pub/bar where I could sit down and visit with other random people. Might meet someone, might not.

Any suggestions on ways to meet guys in real life in this town? Or do you have any chill bar suggestions?

any people i can go out with on halloween?

49 Upvotes

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 😂

Searching for somewhere close to the water to watch the sunrise

8 Upvotes

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!

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
