It's funny hearing Kelowna described as surprisingly small, since not too long ago it and Kamloops were neck and neck (both around 100 000, Kelowna slightly above and Kamloops slightly below) now Kelowna is twice the size (and Kamloops has also continued to grow slowly).

That's why it's so surprising! We're about the same age, and all my life I've heard of Kelowna as this crazy boom town. For a western-Canadian city it's decently urban. And now it's even got a pretty tall skyline going. In my mind it's a city of 450k. The reality surprises me.
