They used the urban Kelowna number. The City of Kelowna itself only has 127,380 people as of the 2016 census. I wonder what the urban number includes? Not West Kelowna which had a population of 32,655 as of 2016. Westbank First Nation, which is intertwined in West Kelowna, adds about another 9,000 residents to the entire "Westbank". Westbank First Nation residents officially list Kelowna, BC as their city.

For instance the Kelowna number appears to include Westbank but the Vernon number does not appear to include Coldstream
It's West Kelowna now, although there have been West Kelowna signs vandalized by people still bitter about not being Westbank.
