Visitors to Kelowna may be familiar with summer water sports and outdoor activities on and around the beautiful Okanagan Lake. They may have flocked to the area’s ski hills in the winter and attended wine tastings in the fall. But what can they expect in spring?

Student entrepreneurs from Okanagan College (OC) are taking their fight against food waste and food insecurity to more businesses throughout Western Canada, as their social enterprise the Unusually Good Food Co. is expanding.

After 10 fast-paced weeks of capital training, pitches, investor meetings, and due diligence, Brad Pommen, President & CEO of SMRT1 Technologies, has secured the $225,000 investment fund.

Students and B.C.’s food industry will benefit from the new Centre for Food, Wine and Tourism once it opens on the Okanagan College Kelowna campus, a centrally located school in the heart of wine country.

UBC Okanagan is expanding its main campus. The UBC Properties Trust was issued a building permit this week to allow for construction of an interdisciplinary collaboration innovation building on campus. The project is estimated to cost $87 million.

Kelowna cannabis company Avant Brands has announced a multimillion-dollar deal to buy The Flowr Group (Okanagan) Inc.

The deal is worth $4.015 million plus $1.1 million in shares of Avant and will increase Avant’s combined facilities to approximately 185,000 square feet.
