Kelowna, British Columbia

Sandy beaches that stretch along a crystalline lake. Deep, soft powder that cradles the skis ever so gently. Emerald fairways that look upon bountiful orchards and distant sailboats. Or the delightful flavour of culture that thousands seek during the annual wine festivals. It all begins with natures basic ingredient: spectacular natural surroundings cushioned in one of Canada's best climates. The generosity of the climate - from the heat of the summer to the gentle crispness of the winter - has proved a welcome host for newcomers and visitors. Kelowna is the hub of the Okanagan Valley which has long been a vacation destination and the heart of BC's orchard industry. The city is a key location for medical services like Kelowna General Hospital and the new Southern Interior Cancer Clinic. Okanagan University College provides post secondary education to the entire southern interior, and an impressive collection of superstores and shopping centres is an indication of the faith with which Canadians view the economic stability of Kelowna.
    
The Central Okanagan offers residents and visitors a potpourri of recreation adventures, like the breathtaking splendor of the Kettle Valley Railroad hiking trail, and family attractions such as Scandia Amusement Park. Culture is not forgotten with a wide array of museums and art galleries, as well as the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra and Sunshine Theatre. The city boasts sophisticated convention facilities, with world-class golf courses, restaurants and five-star resorts all within minutes of downtown. The natural powder at Big White Ski Resort attracts skiers from across Canada each winter. Of course, Kelowna is also the key location in one of the best wine making regions in the world. A bountiful number of vineyards offer their wares from the North Okanagan right down to the U.S. border. As the climate changes, so does the variety of grapes and the expertise that makes Okanagan wines so distinct from each other and from others throughout the world.
    
More than any of it's other unique characteristics, Kelowna's wonderful weather best explains why thousands of visitors return every year. Our envied climate also has a lot to do with the city's steadily growing population and thriving economy. We have a whopping average of 2,000 hours of sunshine every summer, our days are warm, even downright hot, with the average maximum temperature of 28 C (82F). It's not uncommon for the mercury to bubble up into the mid or even high 30s. In fact, one-third of the summer's daily temperatures reach 30 C or more - it's no wonder Kelowna was once dubbed "Canada's Hawaii". Summers are blessed with nice dry air, low humidity, cool evenings and only 111 mm of rain (4.3 inches) between June and September. Winters can be cold, but they're usually mild by Canadian standards, featuring cool humid air and cloudy skies. The average maximum temperature in January is 0 C (32 F). Folks around town don't spend much time shoveling or sweeping off their cars, thanks to fairly light snowfall - 105 cm (41.5 inches) between November and March. Higher plateaus receive much more, which is great news for the ski resorts. For those who shy away from the cold, there's never a long wait for warmer weather. The shoulder seasons of spring and fall show up sooner and stay longer than almost any other part of Canada.
