Calling all Kelowna area businesses!

Our Connect Kelowna website was created in order to promote our unique Canadian internet advertising directory, www.localbusinessportal.ca to local Kelowna area consumers.

Our online business directory encourages businesses to promote their busineses to local consumers either through our Free option or our low cost Premium one.

Businesses who choose the free option will be able to enter all their contact information, including their website URL (or Facebook if they don't have a website) as well as a full description of their business products or services.

Businesses who choose to subscribe to our Premium package get a big bang for their buck! View our What You Get page for a list of everything you get for one very low monthly price!
