B.C.'s best tech heads, food producers and venture capitalists have been called to Kelowna to participate in the Agritech Challenge.

This one-day event will provide a platform for the agrifood sector to communicate their challenges and needs. 

The B.C. Innovation Council will then challenge the entrants to develop a product or process that promotes overall food-supply security for British Columbia. Visit Accelerate Okanagan for all the details. 

Jodi Harvey-Quibell of the The Save Kindness Society, is hosting Food for Gifts on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at 1480 Sutherland Ave.

It's like a garage sale, but food is used as currency. Everyone should check out this event but also their website for all the great things they are completing. 

Justin O'Connor is creating yet another success with the launch of his local Sotheby's International Realty office.

He is combining a prestigious real estate brand, his local market knowledge and specialized marketing expertise for the Okanagan’s most exceptional properties. 

You can reach him at 250-826-9961 or visit their website. 

Thank you to the Regional Waste Reduction Office for once again hosting the Repair Cafe.

We need this! It's sad to me when it's cheaper to throw out a product because it costs less than buying a new item instead of fixing the old one.

So bring those perfectly good items to be fixed – or be shown how to fix it yourself – to the brand new Trades Building at Okanagan College on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more info, visit their website. 

Women in Technology Unwine’d is a series of bi-monthly relationship building events, where like-minded women gather together to share and build their personal networks.

Their next bimonthly meeting is on Nov. 8 at Sandhill Winery. Come enjoy an evening of good company, great wine and valuable connections in a relaxed setting that supports, mentors and encourages women in tech.

Make it a great week!
