The Kelowna fire, 2003

by Darby2 - last update: Feb 18, 2008

Looking across Okanagan Lake from Westbank
With the very dry summers here, fire is a constant danger. In the summer of 2003 a very large forest fire ravaged Okanagan Mountain south of Kelowna. It was started by lightening strikes and burned fiercely for several weeks destroying hundreds of homes and tens of thousands of hectares of forest. Also destroyed were many of the historic railway trestles in Myra Canyon. Reconstruction of the trestles is now under way.

 Best Place to dine in Kelowna! The Italian Food is World Class! And the service is excellent. Loretta (Chef) and Franco (Maître) are the owners who their son Luigi make the best desert drinks.
