THE “ONE AND ONLY”
Westbridge, BC | www.WillowSpringsBC.com
W E L C O M E TO BRITISH COLUMBIA Untamed land where Mother Nature creates the boundaries Where the mountains rise majestically over the countryside and the natural snow fed streams and rivers feed nature. This mysterious and vast land is alive and thriving with dense growth forests and an abundance of wildlife rarely found anywhere else in North America. 400 year-old trees divide the landscape to fill the land with a lush green forest floor. Natural streams pour through steep mountainsides into lush valleys to join rivers of blue-green hues; some fast and wild, others too vast to do more than sedately wind their way, many with a goal of heading west towards the Pacific Ocean.
W E L C O M E TO KELOWNA AND THE OKANAGAN Gateway to The Christian Valley and The “One and Only” Just 50 minutes by plane from Vancouver lies the Kelowna International Airport.
