Hi there! My wife and I run a local community/research forum, assisting people visiting or potentially relocating to the Okanagan Valley here in British Columbia, Canada. You will find plenty of local area residents already on board, as well as new arrivals from other parts of Canada and around the world. We have dedicated sections on the forum, including Research, Where Can I Find?, Employment, Real Estate & Leisure, built from our members questions, concerns and research into the area. The forum covers all areas of the Okanagan Valley including Kelowna, Vernon & Penticton (plus smaller communities such as Westside, Lake Country, Peachland etc.) Our current group of people are a mix of long time locals, newcomers & people in the process or researching the Okanagan. Everyone is here to help supply visitors/new residents with good quality feedback & advice. The forum is completely FREE!! ... so please come along and see us today!
