MV Kelowna-Westbank was a diesel-powered ferry that operated on Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, Canada beginning in 1927.
[2] She was built by the Department of Public Works as a state-of-the-art vessel and was named after the communities Kelowna and Westbank, which she and the other ferries linked.
[3] She solved transportation issues on Okanagan Lake for many years under Captain L. A. Hayman,[4] but traffic steadily increased as the area developed and during the cold winters of the 1930s, she was often unable to provide service.
[6] By 1938, it was clear that Kelowna-Westbank was no longer able to keep up with demand and she was taken to the shipyard and Okanagan Landing for repairs.
However, dry rot had damaged her irreparably and she was retired, with her machinery and equipment stored in Kelowna.
