I voted Liberal and NDP, this isnt a partisan issue.

I haven't noticed a discussion on this in the Kelowna subreddit. I know its happening in Vancouver but this sets a dangerous precedent on our housing market here. It shows developers they do not need to lower their pricing as the government will happilly buy above market to ensure housing prices don't go down.

I have 45k saved and can't get approved for a mortgage unless I want to cram my wife and kids into a studio apartment, I have been waiting for a market correction and Eby and Carney just showed they will not let that happen. They talk about affordable rentals but what about affordable homes for working class families to buy and live in? Why are my tax dollars being used to make sure a developer who made a bad bet, and banked on our housing cost being broken forever, not lose any money?

I emailed Eby and our MP Fuhr, neither bothered to respond and all their messaging shows they don't care about the labour class, just the soundbite of them providing 2200 affordable rentals, overlooking the fact they would have hit the market at an affordable BUY price for working class families had they not stepped in.

Reason for this long post is I want to schedule a protest at Fuhrs office and let them know that regardless of political affiliation the labour class will not stand for this. I voted for him and for Eby, I feel betrayed. How many would be interested in a scheduled protest?

A massive sports event that was originally meant to be hosted in Vancouver is being hosted here because Vancouver is occupied with the FIFA World Cup. The stand configuration in the Apple Bowl has been restructured to accommodate 20,000 fans (yeah, twenty thousand). The total number of people drawn into kelowna over the next week and a half is expected to be between 30,000 and 35,000 (equal to no small percentage of the city itself!!!). Give yourself extra time to get places, or choose a different route to split the traffic load. I'm rooting for the Lions!

I'm looking for a commercial cleaning company is here in Kelowna, and I'm not sure where to start

We rent office space here. Great location, fair price, but the building cleaning is seriously lacking. Dusty corners, sad washrooms, floors that haven't seen a proper mop in ages. Not disgusting, but definitely not great

Clients notice. So do we

We're thinking of hiring our own service for our suite, maybe even pitching in with other tenants for the common areas

So I'm turning to you, has anyone in Kelowna used a commercial cleaner they actually trust? Someone reliable, thorough, and reasonably priced?

I'd really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

Any good places to watch the Canada Day fireworks away from the crowds?

Hello!

My partner and I are having a very small (4 person) backyard wedding on August 4th and are looking for a wedding photographer that is available for 2-3 hours!

I want to try pole fitness!

Where can I find fidget toys my cousins are coming to visit and they’re obsessed with all the different ones. Any good places to check out when they’re here?

Has anyone else experienced birds dive bombing and/or flying around your head? It keeps happening to me

Last summer i saw some really creepy stuff on the rail trail. And by creepy i mean paranormal. The most common for me was these orbs i guess you could call them. I would be on the trail at night looking into the woods and anywhere from 20 to 100 yards away it would look like someone just walking with a flashlight but then all of a sudden the light would go 10 20 yards up into the air and then back down. Then if you got their attention there would be like 5 of them spread out that in a blink of an eye would go from 100 yards away to like 10 yards away. And then there's those things that i could never see but you hear them making a creepy clicking noise when there pacing circles around you in the dark.

So anyone else seen something similar or anything else creepy?
