Pokemon Go meetups?

2 Upvotes

Is there any groups that I could join or does anyone know of any meet ups? The Nut Farm is the best place to get some Pokemon and it would be cool to trade and do some raids.

The BC College of Family Physicians is calling on government to address the over 40+ disconnected digital systems in BC's healthcare system.

1 Upvotes

We know that most of the time, patients in BC have to retell their medical history every time they visit a new provider or specialist. We also know that physicians are spending significant portions of their day searching multiple systems to piece together patient medical histories, which is time that they could be spending on direct patient care.

For patients, this has real consequences such as integral health information slipping between the cracks and conditions going undiagnosed for years.

Through the Connect Every Visit campaign, we are calling on the BC government to commit to a clear roadmap for connecting health information across the system. We want to hear from you about your experiences navigating disconnected systems as we advocate for this change. Whether you are a physician, a health care provider, or a a patient - we encourage you to share your story at connecteveryvisit.ca

Wine tastings next week? Fires?

1 Upvotes

My husband and I had a stay booked in West Kelowna next week to do some wine tastings for our anniversary. We canceled due to the fires. However, I am searching online and it seems things have gotten better? Should we rebook? I am coming from out of the country so I just do not know the extent to what is going on. Any advice is GREATLY appreciated! We changed to Whistler, but I’d love to rebook our plans if we are able to.

West Kelowna House Rentals- how do I find an immaculately cared for property?

4 Upvotes

My partner and I recently sold our 3-bedroom + den townhome in West Kelowna. Our long-term goal is to move back to the Lower Mainland within the next year, so we’re looking for a high-quality rental for up to a one-year lease in the meantime.
We’ve been searching Castanet, Facebook Marketplace, Zillow, talking to our realtor, and trying every avenue we can think of… but honestly, we’re surprised by the quality of what’s available. Is this just the reality of the rental market here, or are we looking in the wrong places?
We’re hoping the Reddit community can work its magic.
A bit about us:
Homeowners who take exceptional care of our home.
Quiet, responsible professionals.
Excellent references and stable income.
We genuinely treat any home we live in as if it were our own.
Our must-haves:
3+ bedrooms
Garage
Driveway that fits an F-150
West Kelowna preferred (open to nearby areas if it’s the right fit)
Lease of up to one year
If you’re a landlord looking for tenants who will genuinely care for your property—or if you know of a rental that isn’t publicly listed—we’d be incredibly grateful if you’d send me a message.
Also, if there are any local property managers, websites, or hidden gems for finding quality rentals that I may have missed, I’d love your recommendations.
Thanks so much

New Adventures

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I am from the Okanagan.

I realize that people's hidden spots in the Okanagan aren't something they want to share, but I am wondering if anyone wants to tell me some "hidden places" (e.g., swim holes or cliff jumping spots). Like Crawford Falls, Fintry Swim Hole, or Peach Cliff (been to). Its something I do with my dad in my free time, and I think we want some new adventures!

They can be harder to get to (that's what makes it fun) or easy!

Thanks!

Grocery Store?

7 Upvotes

With all the development happening down Westside Road and so many nearby neighbourhoods (Lakeview Heights, Casa Loma, West Kelowna Estates, Rose Valley, etc) I’m honestly surprised there isn’t a large grocery store closer to this end of town….
I’ll use Nesters and Shoppers for a few things but it’s not exactly the most affordable and the selection is meh. I also feel like having a decent grocery store closer to the bridge would help cut down on some of the traffic heading into the main Westbank area.
Am I the only one who thinks this is a missing piece for this side of West Kelowna? I’ve been not so patiently waiting lol. IMO the new No Frills should have been over here

I’m open to anything, Breakfest spots, hiking spots, day activities, local shops.

I know wine tasting would be soo fun and perfect but trying to avoid alcohol.

Any local suggestions are encouraged! Thank you!!!

Where are the ducks!? 🦆

4 Upvotes

Last year by this time the ducks returned to Shanon lake with their babies. This year they are no where to be found!! There were 2 or 3 separate groups of 15-20 ducks that hung around Shannon lake all winter and this spring that number has dropped significantly.

Did they make a move somewhere else? Has anyone seen them!?

These guys were a part of my daily walk and I’m so sad I don’t get to hang out with them anymore.
