Community Resources

First and foremost, Kelowna is about people helping people. We encourage you to explore the multitude of excellent community resources we offer by visiting the links on the left.

A community is a group of people with some shared element of interest. These elements may vary widely from situation to situation and different individuals’ lives and values; they may include common characteristics, such as geographic, professional, cultural, racial, religious or socio-economic similarities.

Educational institutions, environmental groups, service clubs, associations, societies and non-profit groups are vital aspects of Kelowna’s thriving community.

Volunteers play a vital role - they are the human resource whose selfless service makes a difference in the lives of others.

For information regarding recycling, waste management, environmental issues, building permits, bylaws, crime prevention etc please visit the Central Okanagan Regional District web site.
