Hey I’m looking for some fun adrenaline activities in kelowna, but free… kind of like the kelowna canyoning but on my own terms. Looks for fun hikes, caves, waterfalls, old buildings etc. Thanks!!

Hi I'm 25 Asian male and lived in Kelowna for some time now... My main friends just moved away to different cities over the past 6 months. Which is great but also leaves me kinda lonely. I'd like to do stuff with people and make some new friends. Would prefer around my age but also not picky.

Im a nerd and like star trek and Harry Potter. I'm pretty adventurous and like to do things. But I'm also happy being cozy at home playing video games. I like DnD but haven't played in a long time. Not the best at keeping in contact but if you reach out I usually respond pretty quickly. Hoping to meet someone who has similar interests to me.

Also if anyone is free today I'm off work today and bored 😭

I am finally on the path to be a better person but am in a serious low. I need money to be a le to pay for my storage where my life is stored, but i can not get a job due to not being able to leave my home ( im not on house arrest haha) i am fighting for my kids to gety family whole If anyone has an actual phone gig or just feels like giving a mom who has had a devastating few years, get back on solid ground. God bless.

Hello, I (21M) am moving from Calgary to West Kelowna with my girlfriend (21F) so we can be with her Father as he is in old age and we want to be closer to him.

we plan to make the move around December, and I'm looking for work in Kelowna. I have experience in construction, mainly concrete restoration/coatings. I've done other work like roofing, tiling, and warehousing when I was younger and am willing to learn new trades/skills. Even if it Isn't trade work, I'm willing to do any kind of work as long as I am making money, lol.

Is anyone here able to point me in the right direction or even have work to offer me? I am also going to look at other websites like indeed of course, but I figured this might be a good place to post in as well. please send me a message or leave a comment if you think you can help me out. thanks in advance everyone!!

Follow the Church Money Trail: Rally for Fair Taxes – July 22, Kelowna City Hall

Tuesday, July 22 at 3:30 PM, outside Kelowna City Hall, the Fair Taxes – Fair Future coalition—led by the Kelowna Atheists, Skeptics and Humanists Association (KASHA), Advocacy Canada, and supported by the BC Humanist Association—will rally Kelowna residents to demand an end to unjustified tax breaks for religious organizations that fail to serve the broader community.

This will be a peaceful rally and we will not be entering city hall.

Bring your bodies and signs on Tuesday, July 22nd at 3:30pm!

More info. https://askuskelowna.ca/

SPEAKERS: Nina George - KASHA, Amber Hall - Advocacy Canada, and Ian Bushfield -  BC Humanist Association.

Play Follow the Church Money Hopscotch on the sidewalk!

Despite multiple requests for dialogue, Kelowna City Council has refused to hear a formal presentation on this issue. We are now bringing the discussion to the public, to those directly affected by these outdated and unfair policies.

What’s at Stake? $5 Million for Kelowna Tax Payers to Fund

Religious organizations in Kelowna currently enjoy sweeping property tax exemptions under Policy #327. As a result, approximately $5 million over the term is shifted onto the shoulders of local taxpayers to support public schools, libraries, hospitals, and essential city services.

Where Does the Church Money Go?

Publicly available CRA data shows that many tax-exempt churches divert large sums to international missions, political lobbying, and causes that do not reflect community values or support local services:

• Evangel Tabernacle (2023–24): Exempted from $63,183 in property tax; donated $289,000 (just $49,444 to Kelowna causes).
• Trinity Baptist Church (2023–24): Exempted from $145,632 in property tax; donated $221,876 (only $35,849 stayed in Kelowna).
• Willow Park Church (2023–24):Exempted from $73,067 in property tax;donated $274,732—$0 to Kelowna initiatives.
• Go To KASHA Youtube HERE to watch videos on these properties.

Discrimination Still Gets a Discount

Many of these groups enforce policies that marginalize 2SLGBTQIA+ people, or restrict membership, or public use of their facilities is based on gender or belief. These practices directly contradict the City of Kelowna’s 2040 Official Community Plan and would disqualify them from most other public subsidies.

A Broken Policy for a Changing City

Kelowna has changed—85% of residents do not attend religious services. Yet religious groups still benefit from tax exemptions designed for a time when they served as community hubs. Many rent their tax-free properties out for profit, further distorting the purpose of the exemption.

What We’re Demanding

The delegation calls on City Council to:

• Pause all five-year tax exemptions for religious organizations under Policy #327 this fall.
• Approve only a temporary one-year exemption for 2025.
• Establish a community-based task force in 2026 to review and modernize exemption criteria.

Rally Details

• What: Fair Taxes – Fair Future Rally
• When: Tuesday, July 22 at 3:30 PM
• Where: Outside Kelowna City Hall
• Why: City Council meets at 4:00 PM. We’ll be outside, asking them—and the public—to listen.

It’s time to ask: Why are Kelowna taxpayers indirectly funding foreign missions, and tax-free profits as well as discriminatory practices?

Join us and demand fairness for all!
