The Family Issue

Okanagan Life
examines the ties that bind

In this issue we check out 25+ great ideas to banish school's-out boredom. We explore the experience of local families united through adoption - at home and overseas. We meet a historian, a couple of dedicated gardeners and one very curious bear (which leads to some very fast paddling). This and so much more.
