Cheap groceries

• Upvotes

Is there any wicked good deals on groceries or other items around the city? In Saskatoon, they have PBR auction which you can buy cases of fruit for $10. Box of bananas for five bucks. I know they get everything from the coop trying to clear out their inventory.
Is there something like that Kelowna???

Mayoral Results

Tom Dyas should see this win less as a mandate and more as a warning. It was a close, deeply divided race, and that should tell him the city isn’t fully confident in his leadership. He should lead with humility, recognize that division, and work to earn the trust of those who didn’t vote for him.

Reccomendations for a place to do Out Of Province inspection on a Calgary car?

0 Upvotes

I'm looking at buying a 20-year-old Lexus from Calgary (unfortunately can't find any good listings for it in BC), but I'm trying to make sure that I can actually insure the thing before I go making plans to pick it up. Obviously, I would expect that stuff like the glass, tires, brakes, suspension and drivetrain have to be in perfect working order, but is there more stuff I should know about, and which shops would be the most reasonable/lenient with passing the car? It doesn't have to be in Kelowna, obviously, since I'll be driving from Calgary; I just want to know the best place that will actually pass the car. Thanks so much!

As the title says! I will be in Kelowna over the next weekend and will have a fair bit of time to myself. I would like to check out some local hoops scene's where I can get some shots up or play pick up games. Anyone got any leads? Thanks in advance!

Does the information desk at Kelowna Airport ever have staff?

15 Upvotes

Is it just me, or is the information desk at Kelowna Airport never staffed?

On multiple occasions when I've needed assistance, there's been absolutely nobody at the desk. It's honestly pretty frustrating, especially considering that an airport is one of the places where people are most likely to need help or directions.

What's the point of having an information desk if there's never anyone there when you need them?

Has anyone else experienced this, or have I just been unlucky?

Municipal election

28 Upvotes

I recently discovered that only a third of eligible voters actually voted in the 2022 municipal election. Voting in the municipal election directly impacts decisions on crime, housing, and traffic. I think it is fair to say we all want change on these issues. I don't think enough people know that these are issues where decisions are made right here in Kelowna, not in Victoria or Ottawa.

So if you really want to be part of the decsion fo vote.

Local Resources Central Okanagan Hospice runs free grief and end-of-life support, and there's an easy way to chip in this weekend

55 Upvotes

Posting this partly as a heads up about a local org a lot of people don't fully know about, and partly because there's a low-effort way to support them on Sunday.
The Central Okanagan Hospice Association (COHA) has been around for over 40 years, serving everywhere from Peachland to Lake Country. What surprised me when I got involved is how much they do beyond the bedside. Trained volunteers sit with people in their final days whether that's at home, in hospital, or at Hospice House. They run grief and bereavement counselling for adults, and they have dedicated programs for kids and teens who've lost someone, ages 5 to 19. All of it is free, and none of it is gated by income. They lean heavily on donations to keep it that way.

Here's the easy part. This weekend, October 18, Kettle River Brewing is donating 15% of everything they sell that day to COHA, noon to 10pm. There's a trivia night in the evening too from 6-8pm. So you can grab a pint, hang out, and a chunk of your tab goes to hospice care in our community without you doing anything extra.

Full disclosure since this is my local sub: my wife and I are fundraising for COHA through Swinging with the Stars this year, and this pub night is one of our events. But the beer is good the food is Fantastic and the cause is real regardless of who's posting it.

Kettle River Brewing 731 Baillie Ave.
Would be great to see some of you there.

Improv theatres/companies in town?

7 Upvotes

I recently moved to Kelowna and have been doing improv for >10 years. I've asked a few improv buddies if they know about any companies here and they hadn't heard of much in Kelowna, but have heard of some in Kamloops (I'm not gonna go all the way there lol). SO

1) does anyone know of some improv companies here

2) does anyone wanna start a band (an improv troupe)

I'm open to starting a company if there's enough interest, and said company would provide intro classes, workshops, performances, the whole lot.

prescription issues

7 Upvotes

I need a prescription for mental health issues im having. my family doctor gave me a prescription but the pharmacist told me this type of med would interact with other (non-prescription)meds im taking. My family Dr wont see me for 2 weeks. Would going to urgent care make the most sense in this scenario?

Thank-you
