so today my parents bought a house in Kelowna (they get possesion in march on my moms b-day) Since i will have a place ou there i decided to get a job working in the wine industry (dont have one yet but still). With me comes my car :applause2: I was wonder if anyone on here live in Kelowna and knows the bylaws for washing cars and soap down soap drains. any info would be greatly appricated hanks
Sweet I now have a house in Kelowna to crash :headbang: hahaha just teasing....well kinda :whistle: As for there bylaws, if I remember correctly in BC you can wash a vehicle on your driveway...not like here in Calgary :shakehead:
Both Ken and I live in BC and I have always washed the cars on the driveway, street, ONR in garage. Never had a problem. Sorry I'm not much help, but I haven't looked into the restrictions. In the summer time though, you may have stricter regulations for watering gardens etc... ouch...
I don't think you'll have any problems Calgary. I have clients in Kelowna. Give me a heads up when your heading out and I'll see if I can't schedule a little road trip and meet up with you. You'll like Kelowna. Iginla has a summer home there so it can't be all bad!
I personally love the Okanagan, it's beautiful there. We usually just head up there for a week or so in the summer to get away from Vancouver. Very relaxing there, I love it. The vineyards are awesome to visit as well!
haha well im sure once we are settled me could find a weekend to make something happen, it wont be for a while since we need to get furnature and possesion cool thanks for the info cool, and yeah once im all settled in I will def let you know. we dont get the place till march 18 but wont be moving in for the summer till may tons of calgarians have places there, it seems to be the big place since its only an hour flight from calgary which is always nice my family loves it as well, its a really nice place. Im really excited to spend a whole summer there
Clagary, I live in (just outside) Penticton and of course know people etc in Kelowna. My parents are looking for a house there too. Anyway, I've never heard of a problem washing cars in your driveway there and it isn't a problem here either. The entire Okanagan is wonderfull as you aleady know and you will enjoy your time here. Having lived a few places in Canada, there isn't anywhere else I would rather be. Cheers
I'm from Kelowna and there are no restrictions. However, some of the newer communities there prohibit it I think, like Wilden (where my new house is). But it's not going to stop me, i'll just be sneaky.
Thanks for the info, i ended up washing my car anyway, i was in upermission so it didnt seem to be an issue. Kelowna is a great town, i had a blast. Lots of great people, great wines and good times. Calgary is still home. I missed calgary and am glad to be back. im not sure icould do kelowna year round.
I was up in Predator Ridge a few weeks ago at a clients place for the weekend. Never been to Kelowna - seems really nice. The wife and I went to visit a client of mine on Lakeshore Drive. 10,000 sq/ft house! Holy crap Batman! I'll be going back up in the spring for a working holiday.
I love it man, 4 seasons is great. I'm stuck in Vancouver for school and haaaate it. Upper mission as in Kettle Valley? I used to live in Crawford estates near there.
yeah, just bellow kettle vally, its the "older" development. I just cant do Kelowna year round, its to small of a town for me. I love calgary, its weird how much you miss home when you move somewhere else.
nice area, some of those houses are huge. My folks were thinking about getting a place on the water but decided that they didnt want to spend that much in a recesion and the carrying cost of those things is insane. property taxes on the water start at 16k. some people pay ver 24k a year... to much for a vaction home if you ask me.
