It's Happening!
Great cities have great downtowns. This project is one of the first to be realized from the recently adopted Downtown Plan.
Our Downtown is ideally situated, with its central city location, mountain views, vibrant Cultural District and lake front amenities. The rebuilding of Kelowna's "Main Street" is another initiative that sets the stage for more activity to attract people.
The City is working with the Downtown Kelowna Association  to help set the stage for success pre, during and post- construction to encourage those who work downtown, those who frequent Bernard Avenue and visitors to enjoy the shops, restaurants and waterfront.
Businesses can find some useful business planning tips and marketing ideas by reviewing Open during Construction produced in collaboration with the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce.
