You’ve probably noticed all the beautful lavender around the boulevards and parks of Kelowna. It’s in bloom right now, and it is so fragrant!

According to the weatherman, there’s supposed to be a big dump of snow in Kelowna this weekend. Those of us who love the outdoors are already waxing our skis and pulling out the Lifa. I spoke with a member of the Kelowna Nordic Ski Club today, and the excitement was palpable! Here’s why a day [...]
