Cost of doing business in Kelowna grows amid social disorder

Took my mom out to lunch before I had to leave for the airport.

Thanks to the kind waitress at the pub we went to for lunch for offering to take a pic of us.

Just came from dinner with my mom and her friends at the retirement home. They have a very good selection and gluten-free options; I really enjoyed everything even though dinner started at 4:30 PM. Another resident’s daughter joined us as well and it was an enjoyable experience with the 6 of us.

Happy to be able to experience what it’s like for my mom living here.

#GratefulBee #Kelowna

Spent the morning hanging out with my mom and some female residents of her retirement home. Lots of nice women. Glad my mom has good people around her.

Someone asked if I was her granddaughter and was surprised when I said I was her daughter. She asked what my secret was and I said moisturizer and staying out of the sun.

Took Mom to get some groceries and now she’s catching up on Coronation Street.

Vancouver: 🌧️ Keep those umbrellas handy! We’re looking at a current temperature of 4°C with periods of rain expected throughout the day. High 7°C. #VancouverWeather #BCStorm

Kelowna: ☁️ A quiet, cool day in the valley. Expect a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 2°C. Current conditions are sitting right at -1°C. #Kelowna #Okanagan https://youtu.be/IVC-1Ofvaso

Kelowna, British Columbia ❄️ A beautiful winter day in the #Okanagan! We’re looking at a mix of sun and cloud with a high near 1°C. Great conditions for a morning walk along the lake or hitting the slopes at Big White. Temperatures will dip to -4°C tonight, so watch for icy patches on the roads tomorrow morning. Enjoy the fresh air, Kelowna! #Kelowna #BCWeather #WineCountry

Kelowna, BC Typical Okanagan winter vibes today! 🍷 We’re seeing "Above Normal" trends for January, hovering around 0°C. A bit of valley cloud hanging around, but it’s a great day for a winery visit or a quick trip to Big White. #Kelowna #Okanagan #BCWeather

Kelowna, British Columbia
☁️ A bit of a grey start in the Okanagan. We’re looking at $3^\circ\text{C}$ today with thick cloud cover hanging over the lake. There’s a slight chance of light flurries or rain mix later this afternoon as temperatures hover near freezing. Roads might get a bit greasy, so take it easy on the Coquihalla if you’re heading out of town. Stay warm out there! ☕
#Kelowna #Okanagan #BCWeather #WinterVibes #LakeCountry

Kelowna, British Columbia ❄️ Highway Alerts! While it’s just flurries in the valley, the Coquihalla and Connector are seeing heavy snow (up to 30cm). If you don't have to travel over the passes today, stay cozy in the Okanagan. Valley visibility is reduced by fog this morning.

High: 2°C | Low: -3°C

Tip: Winter tires are mandatory on the highways—don’t risk it! #Kelowna #Okanagan #BCWeather #Coquihalla #SnowUpdate

It was apparently four years ago today that I took this baby picture in the forest. #GreatHornedOwl #Kelowna #WildlifePhotography

Was feeling better this afternoon. So took 16yo and 18yo with bicycles up to Myra to enjoy the old trestles and tunnels.

This was my first time on a bike in 36 years. #Kelowna #Okanagan #Myra

Stefan, one of my 2 local volunteer models for a past themed fake film style warriors photo shoot in East Sooke. I conceptualized it & worked with Kristin Grant to create the bodypaint designs that I imagined in my head. She did a great job & it was a fun collaboration. She's now based in #Kelowna - check out her website:
https://urbanheart.ca/

The leather mask used here was handmade by local #LeatherCrafter - Rad Juli. I met Juli in the local indie artists community. We've collaborated on other photoshoots with some local burlesque performers. Juli is also a rad drummer & active in our local music scene.

British Columbia is looking to Quebec, New York, and California; preparing a crack-down on short-term rentals #AirBnB #VRBO

A proposed Act would limit short-term rentals to principal residences, so investors with multiple condos or single-family homes will have to instead put them in the long-term rental market #BCpoli

#Victoria, #Vancouver, & #Kelowna already have rules like this, but it’s estimated almost 50% of listings are breaking bylaws & municipalities just can’t keep up
