The Okanagan Mission & Kelowna Mission Area
The Okanagan Mission is a historic Kelowna neighborhood surrounded by mountains, award-winning vineyards, and sand beaches.
The local legend Father Pandosy first settled the Okanagan Mission area in 1958 as its own municipality. Now part of Kelowna proper, the Mission has grown to encompass the entire area between KLO Road and Bertram Creek Regional Park. The Mission has an upmarket village feel with its own commercial centre, beachfront marinas, fine dining, boutique galleries, and Kelowna’s best jewelers.
