Kelowna is a pretty nice place, but there's N O T H I N G to do unless you're really into outdoorsy stuff and beaches or wine or something. It's basically a retirement and tourism community with a University. The winter here is really unpleasant, IMO. It doesn't get very cold temperature wise, but there's something about the wind and the air, the little cold that there is really gets to your bones more than in other places (I'm not a weather expert, but it's probably due to humidity). Seriously, 5 above here feels like 15 below in Alberta. There's also almost no sunshine during the winter, very little snow, and it never really gets cold enough to go ice skating outdoors or do any cool winter things. There are some nice ski hills nearby which mitigates this somewhat, but still. My recommendation: Just go to a different province and learn to deal with the winter, it's really fun and beautiful once you get used to it.

It's like a disease -- even people who live elsewhere are getting infected by the idea they ought to buy a condo in Vancouver, and I can't figure out why. I remember my criminology prof telling us that areas with areas of low home ownership (you know, places with lots of renters) are associated with low incomes and crime. So it's partly a class issue as well- owning property is proof that you're not a poor!
