Fall Family Fun!
• Enjoy the last few weeks of the season with a game of beach volleyball at pritchard park (pritchard dr), Willow Beach (Gellatly Rd) or Pebble Beach (Whitworth Rd).
• From late August-mid Oct it’s salmon spawning season! Visit the Regional district of Central okanagan for more information about their seasonal salmon spawning events and programs at rdco.com.
• Visit all the ‘must see’ tourist spots in West Kelowna, snap a photo and post to instagram (don’t forget to include #VisitWestside in your post) www.visitwestside. com/ best-places-take-pictures-west-kelowna/.
• Fall is a great time to go hiking on one of our trails, Mount Boucherie Rush trail is a must do for amazing views!
• Take in a community event (see page 3 to find out what’s happening in our community).
• Go for a run or walk along the waterfront.
• Have a fall picnic at one of our parks – for a covered picnic shelter, visit Kinsmen park on Shannon Lake Road or Marina park and powers point park on Gellatly Road.
• Stroll through Gellatly nut Farm Regional Park (off Whitworth Road) and harvest some nuts! Although the park is open year round dawn to dusk, the nut harvest takes place Sept. to mid nov. The harvest is managed by the Gellatly nut Farm Society and 100% of the proceeds are used for improvements and restoration projects within the park. Visit www.rdco.com.
• One of the best places to pick fruit and vegetables in BC, West Kelowna has lots of local fruit orchards and farms. plum picking season is from Aug-Sept, pears from late Aug-Sept and Apples in October. There are also u-pick pumpkins and gourds ready in the fall season! Visit the Westside Farm Loop to explore a few that offer a pickyour-own experience or visit a farm market to buy some that has already been freshly picked.
• Play Fetch at any one of our dog parks (see page 85 for a full listing).
• Ace it up this fall on the tennis or pickleball courts (see pages 59-60 for locations and hours of operation).
Some of the criterion to apply for the Jumpstart program includes:
• Eligible children are between the ages of 4 and 18 years.
• Eligible children participating in sport and recreation in West Kelowna and Peachland.
• Funding goes to individuals, not to teams.
• Up to $600 per child can be allocated per year.
• Funding should be for a sustained program that lasts a season therefore a one-week camp would not qualify.
• Funding can be provided to the same child for successive seasons, although the goal is that Jump Start continues to fund new children.
• Funding preference is to pay for registration fees with consideration to fund equipment or transportation costs on a case by case basis.
• Applications are not retroactive and must be submitted before the start of the season.
Canadian tire Jumpstart has helped give more than 159,573 kids in financial need, the chance to play. Funding is based on the individual child’s financial need. The goal is to help those children who would not have been able to participate in a physical activity without the assistance of the Jumpstart program.
Research shows that participation in sport and recreation increases a child’s chance of success in life.

This program offers a safe space to share experiences, gain practical strategies, and connect with others navigating similar situations.

to help youth become healthy, successful, and contributing members of society, we offer life skills training opportunities for youth. This includes volunteer and leadership opportunities, employment, and education support.
youth resilience Programming/r2
Resilience is more than just an individual’s ability to cope— it also depends on access to supportive environments. the R2 Approach highlights 52 resilience factors, divided into rugged qualities (internal traits like confidence and attitude) and resources (external supports like healthcare or community). Both are essential: inner strength alone isn’t enough without supportive environments. This approach recognizes the shared responsibility of families, schools, and communities in fostering resilience. Our programs use the R2 Approach to help youth strengthen their internal skills and connect with the resources they need to thrive, especially during times of stress or adversity.
our Sensory room
A safe, calming environment designed to support youth in managing stress, regulating emotions, and finding moments of peace in their day. This low-stimulation space offers gentle lighting, soothing sensory tools, and quiet corners where youth can feel grounded and secure. Whether it’s through the comfort of a cozy nook with a book, the gentle movement of a yoga ball, or the focus brought by colouring and calming games, every element is thoughtfully chosen to promote emotional regulation, self-expression, and healing. For youth navigating difficult experiences or seeking a moment of calm, the Sensory Room provides a judgment-free space to breathe, reconnect with themselves, and build resilience in a supportive setting.
reconnect 13-18yrs
Reconnect program provides short-term services to youth including parent/teen mediation, advocacy for youth that are homeless or at-risk of homelessness, alcohol and drug referrals, one-on-one support, hygiene and contraceptive education and products. This program is free of charge. Please email gsimms@bgco.ca; or mlea@bgco.ca for services.
