Any recommendations for great butter tarts I the central okanagan?

Posted on the Mayor's Facebook page:

There’s nothing safe about a site that creates disorder for the surrounding community. On behalf of Kelowna City Council, I am asking Health Canada to deny the renewal of the federal authorization for the supervised consumption site at Outreach Urban Health downtown.

Since the site opened in 2021, there have been 3,466 RCMP calls for service related to the site or its immediate surroundings, along with 371 medical incidents, 24 outdoor fires and 420 calls for bylaw service beyond routine daily interventions.

We cannot continue accepting these impacts on public safety in our downtown. People struggling with addiction deserve real pathways to treatment and recovery. And the people who live, work and run businesses downtown deserve to feel safe.

It’s time to shut down a site that is not working and prioritize treatment, recovery and mandatory compassionate care for those who need it most.

Please let me know

Do any of you other 3d printing enthusiasts recycle your scrap filament? If so, how, and do they only accept certain types of filament?

I am mostly interested in local options but if you go through the whole process of shipping it away somewhere I'd be interested in combining parcels and sharing shipping (I'm not very active thus I don't produce much scrap).

Thanks

Relatively new to Kelowna. Long time MtG player looking to get back into it with others to do casual group events like drafts and constructed (non-commander) events.

My work schedule doesn't let me attend the events at places like Quantum Games and the ones I can attend are usually Commander which I'm not a fan of.

Some ideas I have are private booster drafts. i.e. Buying a box, chipping in to cover costs and having a night of it with pizza and drinks. I'm not a competitive person so it's all for the game-night vibes.

If that seems up your alley, message me.

Im searching for a local bluegrass community, I’m getting back into playing guitar after a 20 year break and singing . I’m hoping to find a teacher as well as some local jams or even some people to chat with or hang out.

Hi all.
I have 2 tickets to Weird Al on Wednesday, but the friend I was going to go with booked a trip to Mexico (we bought the tickets last November so I can't really blame her for forgetting!). Anyway, everyone I know either already has tickets or isn't interested. So I have a spare ticket if anyone wants to join me - free! No strings attached, I just would rather see the ticket used than wasted. DM me if you're into weird music just for fun!

Edit to specify no charge for the ticket.

Edit2 - haha thanks! Someone took it and we're gonna have an awesomeeeeee time! :)

Is there any events happening soon in kelowna? Im not sure if its called raves but I want something like alesso, the chainsmokers, martin garrix, and alike

Why is there crickets about the explosion in the North end yesterday?

Hey! I’m a beginner music producer in Kelowna and I’m looking to connect with other people who are also just starting out (or even a little ahead of me).

I’m learning Ableton and currently have a mentor to help me learn. I love high- energy festival EDM/ techno/ acid

Honestly, I’m still VERY much figuring things out 😂 so it would be awesome to meet people who are in the same boat. I’d love to share what we’re working on, bounce ideas off each other, learn together, maybe eventually collaborate or just nerd out about music
If you’re in Kelowna (or even just want to connect online), feel free to comment or message me

Anybody know where to sign up for a team or have a room for another person on their team? Im 32yo male and use to play double and tripleA hockey near Windsor up until I was 18. Would love to get back into the game. Ty in advance!

Does anybody know a good detailer in Kelowna? I spilt some food all over my back seat on my way home from a family potluck yesterday. I had someone coming this morning but they were a no show. I've tried a few others but no one seems to answer their phone or they're severly over priced.

Hey there, I'm looking to start a group for pickup board games(Root, Slay the Spire, Twilight Imperium, etc.) and the dedicated Facebook Groups have been far from successful at this point.

I've got a chat group with a handful of people, but I think more people are needed to get traction going.

Anyone know of already existing groups, or where I should look to find more participants?

Thanks!

Hi all,

Wife is running the marathon so we are coming into Kelowna 24-28. Looking for some Kelowna tennis knowledge!

I was hoping to get a few hits in while I’m in town. 3-3.5 player, looking for a few hits if anyone is interested. Open to a hitting with a coach. Thanks in advance!

Besides bringing moisture to a record-setting drought, it’s also finally bringing borderline comfortable temperatures. I can actually sit outside for the first time in months without needing to carry a sweat towel.

Now if only this held for another 40 days, we could be back at normal precipitation levels, and the drought could be over. Well, for the winter at least. We still need a massive snowpack going into next spring.

Wondering what print shop in Kelowna that artists use for making prints of their art.

I want to get a bunch of prints done of my art (watercolour) as well as cards, etc.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

Anyone else hear or know what that very loud bang was in Rutland at 2am tonight. In-between the areas of Gerstmar, Ziprick and Springfield Rd. Almost sounded like a propane cannon going off but there are none in the area. I haven't heard anything this loud before in the area. Initially woke up to it thinking it was an explosion. Definitely louder than fireworks.

Has anyone been to any of their events? I'm just curious what they're like. From their instagram it looks like the events are for friend making as well as dating.

I'm just curious what the event itself is actually like. Is it similar to speed dating where everybody rotates through and talks to each other or is it just one big mingle?

Anyone know where I can get dog specific products? For calming purposes
