About This Data
Yearly business licence totals are sourced from City of Kelowna Council Priorities Reporting (2023-2024) and Statistics Canada Business Counts for the Kelowna CMA (2018-2022). Current active licence data and categories come from the City of Kelowna Open Data portal (ArcGIS). In 2024, STR legislation caused licence cancellations, offset by growth in other sectors, resulting in nearly flat year-over-year totals.
