Just wanted to add my two cents in on what seems to be a (albeit off-topic) Kelowna vs Saskatoon debate as someone who is currently transitioning out to Kelowna after spending 40 years of my life in Saskatoon....
It's not really THAT expensive:

But the sunshine tax is real ... if you work for most companies based here. Pay is less. However, If you work remotely and have a skill set like many here do, you get the best of both worlds.
Yes, there's not a lot of sunshine in the winter in the valley. But if you drive 60km east and spend a day (or weekend) snowboarding at Big White, there is plenty of sun and fun there. And yes, the fact that it's never usually much colder than -5 to -10 even in January helps a lot.
Yes, it's busy and hotter than hell in the summer ... but you just plan your routes for time, avoid the tourist trap areas, and it's not that bad. You can literally bike anywhere in this city almost faster than you can drive, and do it almost year round in actual bike lanes, go figure.
All in all, Saskatoon and Kelowna are both very beautiful cities for many different reasons, and you really can't go wrong choosing either as your home. Kelowna currently has a TON of in progress, approved, and proposed exciting tower developments and it's great to see. A few of them over 30 stories.
