westerly province. The city is located in BC’s southcentral region, known as the Okanagan Valley and

relocations due to the gentle climate, excellent
transportation link, strong labour force, and the ready
availability of first-rate recreational opportunities.

the Arts are all evidence of the strong cultural soul of
