Kelowna, the commercial hub of British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, is carried in the confirmed 2026-08-07 Regional Markets dataset. At 390 kilometres from Vancouver it functions independently rather than as a satellite — a distance the framework records but does not qualify on. ## Overview @@ -36,11 +36,11 @@ British Columbia, and the province's seventh-largest municipality overall. ## Regional Market Standing Kelowna does not currently appear in the [[atlas-top-400-north-america|Top 400 Regional Markets — North America]] list — its distance from Vancouver places it outside the 15–80 km suburban-regional band the qualification applies. This is not a data defect; it reflects the market's classification as standalone-secondary rather than suburban-regional under [[about-regional-markets-system|the co-location qualification system's]] own taxonomy. Kelowna is carried among Canada's published Regional Markets in the confirmed 2026-08-07 dataset. Its listing in this wiki's Regional Markets index is being reconciled against that dataset and is not restated here. Distance from Vancouver is recorded as descriptive context; [[about-regional-markets-system|the co-location qualification system]] selects on anchor composition, not on distance. ## See Also
