Okanagan (Interior)

The Okanagan is a beautiful gem in the southern interior of BC, well known for its wineries, gorgeous lakes and semi-arid deserts. The summers are hot and provide multiple adventures to partake in: running the rail trail, dining al fresco, hitting up the beautiful beaches among others.

The winters are equally as appealing with two major ski hills and many trails to explore on snowshoe.

It’s a wonderful place to work and live!
