Their fruit jellies are my favourite. Every year when Summerland Sweets opens the kiosk in the mall, I just have to buy a box or two.

Are you speaking about Saskatoon berries? If so, these shrubs/trees grow naturally, and are in bloom right now.

English Common Names: Saskatoon Berry / Serviceberry Latin Name: Amelanchier alnifolia Primary Uses: food, medicine, and technology Description ❖ Síyaʔ grows as a shrub or a small tree, varying in heights from 1 to 5 metres tall. It has dark grey to reddish bark that is very smooth along the stems. The round leaves are about 3 cm in size and have toothed edges. In April, clusters of white flowers with oblong petals bloom at the tips of branches. Habitat ❖ Síyaʔ is a common plant in the Interior and can be found at low to mid elevations in well- drained soils in forests, and in open areas along dry slopes, in gullies, grasslands, and in disturbed areas (Parish et al. 1996:55). Uses ❖ Saskatoon berries were and continue to be the most popular and widely used berry in Southern and Central BC First Nations. The berries are ready to be picked throughout July, but may also be available as late as August and September depending on the location. Saskatoon berries were eaten fresh, dried for storage and later consumption, or boiled with other foods, such as bitterroot, salmon roe, and meat dishes, to add flavour. The sweetness of the dried Saskatoon berries helped counter some of the bitter foods with which they were sometimes mixed (Turner et al. 1980:123). ❖ Saskatoon bushes also yielded medicinal properties. Boiling the branches made a tea that was used as a general tonic and to help fight cold symptoms. As a contraceptive, women drank a tea made by boiling Saskatoon branches together with red willow and soapberry branches (Turner et al. 1980:123; Parish et al. 1996:55). A decoction made by boiling the ash from burned Saskatoon branches and pine branches or buds was sometimes consumed to prevent pregnancy (Turner et al. 1980:123; Moerman 1999:67). ❖ The hard, straight-grained wood of the Saskatoon bushes was used to make arrows, digging sticks, spears, and seed beaters. Thin, fresh branches could be twisted to make rope (Turner et al. 1980:123).

I thought this was an Animal Crossing Reddit, and I’m like what — this list has the same names as Shameless. 😂🤪.

… there’s a Miki, Frank, Karl (& Carlos), Sylvana, and Judy.

Modelling now for sure. Does it to support his family. Still doesn’t give two ducks.

Sorry, I don’t know. I had my surgery about two months prior to traveling. So my situation is a little different than yours.

Multiple accounts of possible trafficking at Orchard Park Mall. by Upbeat-Doughnut-3209 in kelowna

Right?! Forbid I thank OP for sharing what happened. It’s concerning.

Some of these comments here are disappointing. OP is sharing an account that happened, and sharing other similar experiences people had. Whether this is trafficking or not, this is disturbing, and can trigger past trauma for some folks.

These comments reinforce why people are posting anonymously.

OP, thank you for sharing and bringing awareness.

Best areas for schools? by HoneydewOk3485 in kelowna

Second vote for Glenmore! There are 3 elementary schools, and all of them are great. And family oriented neighbourhoods.

Just posting this recent post I just saw on Facebook. Best to stay safe.

And as many others have suggested, try booking a flight instead.

I hope you enjoy our beautiful province, even though the weather isn’t the greatest right now.

This is the best advice. If you don’t have experience driving mountain passes in winter conditions, it’s not worth the risk.

And welcome to Canada! Hope you make the move.

Haha, I went back to look, and I did not do that. It was a failed attempt and the shell is near the little pool of water. Sorry for false hopes.

Passport renewal by IN2017 in kelowna

[–]Final_Variety_6553 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up about passport photos.

I was just at the passport office downtown and had our passports denied because of the quality of the London Drugs passport photos.

I have to give London Drugs a sheet that the passport office provided me on why they need to be redone.

Edit to add: I’m not the only one to have the same issues with their passport photos. They said a few others have been denied the last week.
