Rating the full “five blooms” out of five in a friendly Worlds in Bloom challenge between Canada and the United Kingdom, Kelowna is as beautiful as it is delightful. The inviting waters of Okanagan Lake shimmer in the sunlight, calling swimmers, boaters, and waterskiers from the white sandy beaches.
