Situated in the southern central area of British Columbia lies the unique and beautiful region known as the Thompson Okanagan. This fascinating region contains a wide selection of unique destinations, including world-renowned Lake Okanagan. This spectacular, meandering lake stretches from north to south for approximately 110 km (68 miles), surrounded by stunning vistas, a string of charming communities, a wide range of accommodation options, year-round indoor/outdoor attractions, an amazing selection of over 70 independent wineries, adventure/eco tours, world-class alpine skiing and more. The lake even has it’s own mysterious, mythical creature; Ogopogo. |
 The Thompson Okanagan is also home to a diverse GLBT community that operate a wide range of businesses and services throughout the region. Unlike larger urban centres, there are no obvious focal points such as a gay village or bar scene, however The Okanagan Rainbow Coalition organizes a series of ongoing social events and the region proudly hosts the Annual Okanagan Pride Festival:
