North Okanagan — Shuswap, bc

This B.C. Interior riding has a humid continental climate. Variations in altitude make seasons very elastic in the region; residents can sometimes go spring snowmobiling in the morning and golfing in the afternoon.

The riding is situated at the juncture of the Okanagan and Shuswap watersheds with a low pass separating the Columbia and Fraser River basins.

Shuswap Lake is home to at least 14 different types of fish species, including Coho salmon, Chinook salmon, rainbow trout, and more. Okanagan Lake is known as the legendary home of Ogopogo, the lake monster. Kalamalka Lake is a translation from First Nations meaning lake of many colours.
