Chief Charlie swkn’cut - a chief of the local First Nation in the late 1890’s and 1900’s. His name means “one who sees oneself."

I think he would’ve been pleased to see how lively and cross-cultural downtown Kelowna was today. Nothing eventful happening. People walking up and down the boardwalk, ice cream and cold drinks in hand. Tourists had their bare feet in the sand and lake to cool off. Both beaches downtown were just packed with families enjoying the water and others lounging in the sun.

Another summer day in the Okanagan: as perfect as can be.
