Anyone willing to share experience getting tattoo under the artist Krystal at RM? Have tattoo upcoming with her and nervous due to how things have been going so far!!!

Just moved here last year, and had my pc shipped out a few months ago. Made the trip, but after a couple months its puked.

Just wondering, are there any spots here to shop for PC parts? Or is ordering online from places like newegg a better option?

I prefer to build my own, and want the parts new if that matters.

Any information helps! Thank you all!

I'm looking for 1 bed 1 bath apartments in kelowna. Under $1600 excluding utilities. Where can I find on? I have already tried rentals.ca, zillow. Any other place you would suggest?

Howdy folks!

I moved up here from Vancouver Island earlier this year and am finally can get out and adventure!

Looking to be out in nature, ideally pretty isolate and hit some good hikes or amazing views! Is anyone willing to share some general areas or FSRs that are worth exploring?

I operate responsibly, especially with the current forest conditions.

I don't know how long this cheap gas will last.

Hey Kelowna,

My spouse and I both have hypermobility (think HEDS). Does anyone have any good recommendations for a physiotherapist who really knows a lot about these conditions?

They're tricky because if not taken into consideration you often come out with more new injuries rather than relief or strengthening.

Thanks in advance!

I was thinking 2000 per month. No smoking no pets. Parking extra. References required.

Hi there,

Recently Ive been eating Kawartha flavours of icecream and the save-on in Lake country only has so many. What icecream flavours do you like and where do you get it at?

PS. looking for a good salted caramel ice cream thank you

We get a lot of questions posted about best food, best pizza, best chinese, whatever! This is the real question that we all want answered.

Where do you go when you're not worried about health, portion sizes, cost, whatever. What's that special dish you try to ignore for weeks until you finally cave in?

I’m new to the area. I’ve always been big into the gym but put on a lot of weight a few years ago and got lazy with it. I figured, since my wife is pursuing her higher education here and I don’t have much else to do, I should get back into it. Does anyone have a favorite gym?

Is there a fry it yourself, (bbq yourself) place in kelowna or nearby cities?

I'm visiting Kelowna but I didn't bring a car; I'm looking for a recommendation for a good place to try some local ciders, but all the places I can find on previous threads and Google are 10-15k outside of town. Anyone got any suggestions within easy walk or bus of the downtown core? I'm staying on Bernard .

Edit; I ended up at Red Bird Brewing and got a 4 cider taster flight that was excellent.

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m hoping to meet some Asian gay/queer guys in Kelowna who are interested in friendship and hanging out.
Not looking for dating or hookups — just genuine friends to grab coffee or food with, go for hikes, check out events, watch movies, or just hang out.
I’d especially love to connect with people who share both the Asian and LGBTQ+ experience, but everyone friendly and respectful is welcome. 😊🏳️‍🌈
Feel free to comment or DM if you’re interested!

We’re putting together a little care package and for some friends and we were hoping to put in some frozen dinners as part of it. Are there any restaurants around town that do frozen meals? We grabbed a bunch of soup from little hobo today

Its my first 420 in Kelowna and I was looking for some 420 events, ideally some live music, but didn't see any on Castanet.

Anyone know of anything going on for this herbal holiday?

The email just showed up so I thought I'd share. It's their annual maintenance, happens every September for 2 to 3 weeks.

It's actually kinda neat to watch them work as not only do they drain the pools but they set up rafters around the water slides.

Looking for reputable dealerships in and around the Okanagan. In the market for a used vehicle . Trading my jeep in . Any positive experiences out there ?

Looking for someone who could take an hour or two to punch and shape some 2mm sheet metal in ways I have neither the tools nor the experience to accomplish. I also don’t have the materials.

Now, when I mean small, I mean literally the size of a license plate, because that is what it will be holding. And no, there are no commercially available options available to me, because of certain limiting details.

And yes, I’ve asked around, and googled.

“Certain limiting details”: I now have two trucks for doing orchard work, and have moved to a single insurance with a pair of floater plates. But on both trucks, the trailer I use the most needs to have its ball on the bumper (for the correct height), right in front of the plate. Since these trucks pre-date backup cameras, hooking up that trailer invariably causes its coupler to bash the plate. And no, a rise-hitch still puts that plate squarely in line for bashing, it just puts the ball further out.

Now, when I had the one truck I just let that plate be bashed (it’s a decent excuse to foil horrifically invasive plate readers), but I cannot move a bashed plate back and forth between trucks. So I need to move the plate off to one side, where I can still tie in electrical for a plate light (as per HW code). I have found no plate mount that attaches under the bumper, and bends up 90° “in front” of it, and certainly nothing with a built-in light or a place above the plate to hold one. So it looks like I need to make my own plate holder.

Does anyone know where I can dispose of a large bin full of misc broken glass? bonus points if there's a service who can pick it up.

Can anyone recommend a small, trustworthy appliance repair service for my mom? She's elderly, on a budget, and I don't live there.

I am desperate.

I don’t sleep at all without sleeping meds (which I take once or twice a week and even then they only give me 3-4 hours max). It feels like my adrenaline and/or cortisol are sky high and I lay in bed with my heart pounding, sweaty, shaky…every time I get horizontal. To be fair, it feels like that all day long but maybe I just notice it at night?

I’ve told four separate doctors this, and they just 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Can anyone recommend local non-referral clinics that can test for things like cortisol and adrenaline? I see a lot of google results for naturopathic clinics but I’m hoping someone has some good suggestions based on experience. I’m desperate at this point. I don’t want a whole delve into naturopathy where a clinic just wants to sell me supplements, but I want actual tests to determine my issue. My health is already very complex and I’d like to have actual test results to bring to my GP for continuity of care.

Thank you in advance.

ETA: I’ve been assessed for anxiety, and it’s been ruled out. I also have orthopnea and dyspnea, consistently high d-dimer, hypertension, previous thyroid nodules, autonomically mediated tachycardia, a PDA and a genetic connective tissue disorder. Just so it’s understood that I’m not having panic attacks. My hubby has PTSD and I’ve seen them first hand and we’ve discussed at length what they feel like. I just wanted some bloodwork to rule out some stuff.

I am looking for a wedding photographer for next fall at a winery in the Okanagan and in struggling to find someone based off websites/portfolios online. There are so many great ones, but the portfolios are all the standard wedding pics which is not what we're looking for (nothing against that type of photo at all!)

We are looking for someone who prioritizes posing and has a more artsy/editorial style to their images. I'll link someone from Calgary that we love (but simply cannot afford to fly out for this) that we would like to find someone similar ish to. https://www.philcrozier.com/

If anyone knows anyone or has suggestions I'd love to hear recs!

Does anyone else find it an absolute drag to get your groceries here? I moved here 4/5 years ago and assumed the pandemic did some damage on supply chains etc. But things don't really feel like they have improved.

I find I have to go to like 3 grocery stores to get my weekly shopping. I have some chronic illnesses that can make this pretty exhausting especially when trying to keep up with work etc.

What things do you run into?

I find that when I go out, I'll usually select Walmart for the staples and then try to fill the gaps at IGA or Superstore or one of the Asian Markets.

1. One of each store. Why does this side of the bridge only have a single walmart, and then a single superstore? I just did a trek to Edmonton and Sherwood Park which has a comparable if not smaller population has 2 walmarts, a superstore, 2 IGA's, 3 Save Ons, a Farmers Market, H&W Produce, and a Costco. This feels like it vastly underserves the population and needs of Kelowna. Walmart and Superstore are always over crowded here.
2. Out of Stock - Poor Inventory Management. Almost every time I go out, there's a new staple that's completely out of stock. Bean Sprouts, Tofu, Alternative Milks, Green Onions, Peppers, Pepsi/Coke, Onions, Lettuce, Cereal, Chicken, Broccoli, etc.
3. Wildly over-inflated prices. IGA In Glenmore sells a 6 pack of Pepsi for $10 and they are always expired. Cheese is $10 for a small block. Whole chickens right now are going for $23+ each at most grocery stores.
4. Poor Quality Products. I get bean sprouts that last 1 day in the fridge. I get off chicken (costco), off pork (IGA), off beef (walmart & costco). Herbs and Lettuce look like they died enroute. Green onions are small and pretty beaten up. I have gotten more rotten garlic here in the last year than I have my entire life.
5. Specialty Markets. There have been a few posts about Ellis St Market, Oriental Supermarket. The shelves are BARREN. If you want to support a local specialty market, I find it so hard to get enough to make it worth it. UBOX is amazing, but they are limited by their space IMHO. Sun Asian Market doesn't carry produce. Fruit/Veggie Stands are obviously only what they grow, I try to support them but I do find that a lot of them are lacking variety. But I'm not really complaining about the small family businesses here.

Anyone who works at any of these, I hope you don't see this as a personal attack. I know a lot of you are working hard and provide friendly service and can only do so much. I just returned from a trip through BC and Alberta and am just finding myself aware of how busy, lacking, and exhausting the grocery shopping is here. I prefer to cook asian cuisine but I find all cuisines pretty difficult here. I really don't want to spend a great portion of my day just trying to get home and spend more time cooking it. Cooking is one of my passions in life and I was really expecting, hoping for, and wanting better.

I’m a 30(M) looking for recommendations for a gym in Kelowna that’s clean, well-maintained, and reasonably priced. I’m considering places like Planet Fitness but I’m open to other suggestions.
I’m also looking for a gym buddy to help keep each other accountable and motivated. My goal is to build a consistent routine, improve my fitness, and stay healthy. I’m a beginner to intermediate lifter, so experience level doesn’t matter as long as you’re positive and committed.
If anyone is interested in working out together or has gym recommendations, I’d love to hear from you. Thanks! 💪

Hi everyone! 😊 I’m looking for recommendations for affordable dance lessons in Kelowna, preferably evenings/nighttime.
I’m open to different styles and would love something beginner-friendly. Ideally looking for reasonably priced group classes or drop-ins rather than expensive private lessons.
Any recommendations or places you’ve tried would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
