This weekend was a weather roller coaster. We saw some of the smoke dissipate, finally got a taste of the crisp Okanagan air and then we ended the weekend with a rainy night. But Kelowna still knew how to make the most out of those clear skies.

Kelowna Comic Con

Kelowna’s second annual Comic Con beamed down Star Trek:The Next Generation’s Denise Crosby, who played Security Chief Tasha Yar, along with the Walking Dead’s Vincent Ward, and Andy Poon, a concept artist from CW’s Arrow, Flash & DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.

Stop by the Kelowna Curling Club today and tomorrow for the second annual @kelowna_comic_con ! The event will be running from 10am until 5pm both days!

Walk the Beach

Residents of Kelowna gathered at City Park to walk the lake shore, protesting the limitations on walking to the public due to private docks on public land.

The second annual Walk the Beach event, where protesters carried colourful signs while walking from City Park to Rotary Beach in the Mission was hosted by PLANKelowna.

“Walk the Beach” is a planned walk to raise awareness of the public property (shoreline) that has been impeded by obstacles from private owners living close to the shoreline.
