Kelowna ranks #3 of 6 in British Columbia. Straight-line distance to the Vancouver hub (~631,000) is about 270 km (~3.5 hr planning estimate, drive band “remote”) — treat that as a hint for whether pickup/witnessing is truly local or hub-routed.

Alternate hub to compare: Vancouver (~270 km) — the largest in-state city is not always the nearest useful chamber.
