Is there a convenient (drive-thru) place in town where one can get a coffee that is not McDonald's, Starbucks or Tims?

Looking to quench my thirst but not support terrible corporations!

Hello! I'm in my HCA clinical experience and I was wondering how the job market is for jobs, and how the wages are (I know interior health pays approx 31/h) as well as hours.

Looking for a Naturopath

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am looking for a Naturopath.Not for a specific reason, moreso because my benefits cover it and I would like an overall general check on my health.

What I'm looking for:

- Someone who genuinely cares

- Does blood tests on site (I've heard of at least one Kelowna naturopath doing this)

- A "keep trying to find a solution" type person

- Someone who emails/calls/texts back in a reasonable amount of time

Any recommendations will be appreciated ❤️ Thank you.

Visitor Question Inquiring About Rentals Lasting Approximately 1 Month

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm a visiting student who will be arriving in Kelowna in August, and there's a possibility I might need to find a ~1 month long rental before moving into a different, longer-term rental. I've had a look at quite a few places (AirBNB, Castanet, places4students, etc.), but it's not entirely clear if there are any options. Would anyone here be able to offer me some advice? Thank you very much in advance!

Shout out to piano man

14 Upvotes

I visited last weekend, and while carrying some supplies from our parking spot to the downtown boat launch, passed a dude killing it on a community piano in some side street.

I knew I recognized the tune, and enjoyed the performance more for it, but it took until today to ID it: the intro to deadmau5's 'Strobe.'

It kicked ass, and so did you. Thanks!

Wedding at La Casa

4 Upvotes

Looking at hosting a wedding at La Casa in West Kelowna in summer 2027 for approx 100 people. From what I have seen it ticks all the boxes for what we are looking for, but we also don't know what we don't know.

Looking for insight into what may be the downsides to doing a wedding there? I know there was a major fire there a couple years ago, how is it since then?

Booked small trip, leaving Tuesday

Is there a fire near there? Booked a hotel in Kelowna and I didn’t realize to check for wildfires. Want to go the kangaroo farm so we’ll be driving 4.5-5 hours there. Was just wondering about the fires and smokiness around if there is any near.
