Fave Okanagan Location: Deep into any cherry orchard with my boys or with my toes buried deep in the sand at the beach.

Go-to OKGN piece: As a wearer of many hats and someone who loves to spend ALL the days in the hot Okanagan sun-- our Canadian made corduroy hats are my favourite.

What does the Okanagan Lifestyle mean to you?
Living deeply + exploring this world-class region from mountains high to valleys low in all four unique seasons. This lifestyle too means being thoughtfully curious about the world-class people who call this region home-- meeting each person with genuine kindness.

Fave Okanagan Location: One of the many fishing lakes up some unmarked dirt road, likely untangling my girls' fishing line.
