Kelowna is now favoured as a retirement city, due to the
normally mild weather. It is the fastest growing population
in Canada and walled and gated communities abound. Old
orchards are being ploughed up for new residential areas. The
lake, many golf courses, winter skiing and sports, and more
make it a nice place to be, but prices are now equal to
Vancouver.
I will be in Kelowna next week (I go there every second month
or so). The new airport calls itself "international" and what
was right wing is now liberal.
B.C. politics noir? Well, we do have some interesting ones.
Kelowna is large now as Bennett steered many projects in the
direction of his home town.
I have a plot set in Kelowna to take advantage of the large
evangelical population and affinity fraud, which has been and
remains a problem for local evangelical churches.
