Kelowna: Dilworth Mountain: Highway 97 at Highway 33 in Kelowna, looking south on Highway 97
Few places in British Columbia have a history as closely tied to orchard farming as Kelowna. Set on the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake, the city is the principal urban centre of the Okanagan Valley, a long interior corridor between mountain ranges. Highway 97, called Harvey Avenue as it crosses Kelowna, is its major commercial artery and links neighbourhoods with the wider region. Orchard growing and fruit packing underpinned Kelowna’s early economy, while vineyards and wineries have made the valley one of Canada’s leading wine regions. The waterfront around downtown combines public parks, marinas and the lakefront cultural district, giving this fast-growing city a distinctly inland-western character.

British Columbia has served as Canada’s Pacific frontier since joining Confederation in 1871. This vast western province extends from the Pacific coast across the Coast Mountains and interior plateaus to the Canadian Rockies; these coordinates lie in its sparsely settled northern interior. The Fraser, British Columbia’s longest river, drains a large part of the province before reaching the Strait of Georgia. First Nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain integral to communities throughout the province. Victoria, on Vancouver Island, is the provincial capital, while Vancouver is its largest city and a major Pacific port. Forestry, mining, fisheries and outdoor travel all reflect a terrain where waterways and mountain corridors matter.

First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
