About This Item
28 x 21 cm- An extremely tight and unmarked copy-" When Kelowna was incorporated in May 1905, there was a resident population of just 600 people and farming was the main industry. Today, over 100,00 people live in Kelowna with population figures increasing at an unprecedented rate. Kelowna: One Hundred Years of History consists of over 30 articles that relate to the history of the area. Topics include diverse stories of bygone days: from fascinating information on Kelowna's Chinatown to Okanagan Lake Bridge to the internationally known Regatta festival. Other topics include local industries such as the early days of tobacco growing, fruit growing, early oil explorations, and, of course, the evolution of today's multi-million dollar wine industry. Read about early school days, sporting life, arts, and culture all in the context of Kelowna's history over the past 100 years. The book is illustrated with black and white archival photographs from the Kelowna Museum.-Contributors of the articles include well-known local writers including Wayne Wilson, Robert M. "Bob" Hayes, ColleenCormack, C.W. "Bill" Knowles, Keith Boehmer, Juliana Hayes, and Sharron J. Simpson."- 11 X 8.5 X 0.5 in
