| Westbank/Westside is often referred to as the "Key to the Okanagan" as it is the first community reached when traveling east to the Okanagan via the Okanagan Connector (Hwy 97C) bordered by rolling mountains to the west and the crystal clear waters of Okanagan Lake on the east, Westbank lies nestled in some of the best wine & fruit orchards in British Columbia.
Like most of the Okanagan Valley, Westbank is a popular tourist, industrial and residential area as the valley's lifestyle is enticing. The area has been growing at a rapid pace as people are relocating from all over the globe to enjoy our "quality of life". The current population of the Westbank/Westside is approximately 33,000 persons
