Okanagan based skin care

Hi guys! In response to these tariffs, I’m doing my best to shop Canadian and trying even harder to support local. If anyone knows of any skincare/self-care brand that are clean products, produced in the Okanagan, drop the recs below.

Peterson coming to kelowna

Peterson, traitor to Canada, and one of donalds media ball-gargling lieutenants, is coming to Prospera Place to exude his brain-dead cult slop about non-whites, Christianity, trans people, and why it's actually good to have just a single billionaire in charge of countries, because they are big and strong. I think we should show up to prospera on febuary 14, and let the fascist slop cult know they are not welcome in Canada. We have to fight like hell, or we won't have a country anymore. Peacefully and patriotically of course.

Complacency

I've noticed a surprising amount of locals and friends today putting up a front about the tariffs news and basically saying, "don't care about politics, I'm not thinking about it" which I find alarming and super inappropriate. I think it's really important right now that as Gen Z (and all gens) we stay informed and we support our local and Canadian economy. We are so lucky to live in such an abundant place.

Corporate Law - Recco

Hello all,

I require the services of a corporate lawyer for some document review. It could be a junior staff member also.

Documents are drafted by another lawyer, just need to review before proceeding.

Any help is appreciated, I did a Google and found plenty but would prefer to hear some actual experiences.

How do you find FedEx?

I had important documents due Friday by 8:00 PM signature required. I waited from 7am to 5pm to then check the status showing “Incorrect address - Apartment/Suite number” that I highly doubt. Now due Monday.

Best place to get glasses?

I’m looking to buy glasses for the first time, and I want to go to a shop where I can get some actual help in determining what style of glasses best suit me. I’m 24M and it’s my first time getting glasses, don’t know enough people in the city to have someone come with me to play devil’s advocate.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a place to get glasses where associates will actually help you find a pair that makes sense? Help appreciated!

Can you donate a frozen turkey?

I was gifted a huge frozen turkey. I hate turkey and have no use for it, but I can't just throw it away.

Would any place take it and put it to good use?

Warhammer opportunities

As it says on the tin, been playing Warhammer 40K more and more lately, and I wanted to know what places in town host game nights

I know the Warhammer shop by KLO does, but I can only seem to find a lot of people to play with on the escalation league nights

Any other places or groups I might not be aware of that host game nights?

Good, affordable flower services in Kelowna?

Helloo everyone! I’m just wondering, could you guys point me to a good flower shop that makes deliveries. I’m not Canadian, but my girlfriend lives in Kelowna, and I want to send her flowers on Valentine’s, nothing too flashy. Something in the range of $50 dollars.

I would very much appreciate it, thank you!

Question for local shops

Hey Kelowna shop owners,

I’m curious—what are the biggest challenges you face as a local business owner? I’m looking to educate myself on the struggles small businesses deal with.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
