Private psychiatrist recos in Okanagan?

Hi I’m looking for a good private psychiatrist in the Okanagan with experience with adhd and chronic pain/itch. I already have a diagnosis, but want help with finding the right meds. Willing to travel for the right person.

Side note - Vernon mental health told me that if your doctor refers you to a private psychiatrist it is covered by msp. Worth asking your doc if you are in need, apparently wait times are shorter.

Thanks!

2 wheel walker

My father took a bad tumble and has multiple broken/fracture bones in his legs. Does anyone know where to get/have a spare 2 wheel walker? His current one has four wheels and moves as he walks, not ideal. We need one that stops when he leans on it.

It's a dumb question, but where do you all buy fire extinguishers that aren't insanely overpriced?

Dr. Jordan Peterson Prospera Place Feb 14th

JP coming to town in February! Can’t wait to have open minded dialogue with the fine folks of Kelowna. We don’t always see eye to eye on everything, but I know Reddit is a great place for well meaning discussions on life’s big questions.

All weather tires

Update: Thank you for all the beautiful inputs and your experiences although I also received other very rude comments when we really just want to ask on how its performance and suggestions here specially in Kelowna. We don’t drive much on winter and prefer to be at home if heavy snow gets along the way. We are all also fairly new in Kelowna and we came from Vancouver which all weather (M+S, with mountain snowflake) does pretty good in there but we know winters are different here, so the question. But thanks! We will try to check on those crossclimates and better weigh options on winter tires if really needed . Much thanks and blessings to all 😇

Will the all weather tires be a good option for winters in Kelowna? Probably wont ever to Coq, driving will be just around town

It looks like Kelowna is adding fire hydrants on Clifton Road.

I’m guessing that Kelowna Engineers will be adding them to many streets to replace old infrastructure and to avoid a problem like Calgary had.

How busy is the library plaza parkade on Saturdays at about 9-10 am?

Basically title. Never parked there before and I’m wondering how busy it is or how many open stalls there might be at around 9-10 am on Saturday mornings. Maybe even how busy it is at that time, any day of the week? Thanks !

Twice the Dice up for sale

Their announcement

Just saw it on Realtor. Hopefully it can remain a board game cafe, my son hangs out there and I would hate for such a unique place to be lost.

How many trick-or-treaters did you guys get last night?

Every year as tradition we keep a tally. This year we had 78, which is down from the 102 we had last year.

There could be a few contributing factors. The biggest one is the fact that most of our neighbours didn't display decorations this year. A couple houses changed hands over the summer and the new families don't seem interested in Halloween. So many kids overlooked our whole street I think.

Pot shops on the Rez

Just saw some articles about RCMP raiding shops in both Kelowna and Vernon. Does anyone have any more info on what's going on?

I can only assume tribal police are involved and it happening in multiple cities means something has changed. Are they being charged? Colour me surprised.
