BC Was Awesome host Bob Kronbauer visits Kelowna, B.C. to get the story of the long-running but ill-fated regatta. He talks to some historians, synchronized swimmers and participants of the regatta, and gets into a pool to experience firsthand what it was like to train to perform in it.
******
BC Was Awesome is a multiple Leo Award-nominated series documenting the sometimes offbeat stories of the history of British Columbia. It's a co-production of Vancouver Is Awesome and Artaban Productions.

Are you still in Kelowna, Kenny? The local gov't is totally in with the globalist plan. Kelowna is now a little Vancouver. Pack 'em and stack 'em in the downtown area. No parking, one main highway artery through town. If a person loves traffic then Kelowna's a good place to move!!

@@catshomelife Two years later and the nightmare grows worse by the day. Now with Socialists running the province the roads are quickly disintegrating with the increase in traffic. Not only are they doing nothing about repairs, their only solution is closing golf courses for more stack n pack apartments. It's easy to spot all the west coasters who have sold mommy and daddy's house and purchased cheaper homes here (Now Ridiculously priced) by the way they tailgate and lane swap thinking they'll get ahead. It takes awhile for them to realize we have one highway with stop lights at every intersection and you go nowhere fast. This summer will be insane, it's already bad as you already know Catherine.

@@Kenny_Mars Exactly true. It's such a 'naturally' beautiful place to live but we'd like to move out into the country. Too many sirens here, too many squealing tires, way, way too many high-rises going up every day. I'm not impressed. This summer the city is putting on a three day outdoor rock concert. Three days of blasting music. If anyone else did that the police would be called, but we have to listen to blasting rock music for 3 days. Guess we know we'll be going out of town for that time. All the best in your journey, Kenny.

It was a good event for families back in the day. Then the scene changed and 2 riots killed it because people drank too much and do stupid stuff. The organizers decided to cancel it because people can't behave and enjoy it. They did try and bring it back but they decided it was done for good .

You should come down to Nanaimo in July we have something called the Bathtub races. Or everyday during the summer or was it every Sunday at Noon at the Bastion they would fire the cannons. Downtown Nanaimo is very lively during the summer you should check it out ( Ans of course you have to have a Nanaimo bar)

Honestly BCs problems can be summed up with the 80s socred party having kind of having a bad system for choosing the next leader plus Bennett’s sudden retirement probably because his brain issues had begun and doctors privately advised him to leave which yes was the responsible thing to do if you know you’re developing Alzheimer’s you should step down and he did the right thing but it resulted in a bad leader vanderzalm who departed from the actual party ideals then ran the whole show into the ground allowing the mess we have now to fill the vacuum. Every premier after Bennett jr is basically for sale to the highest bidder. Also tulip man plus everyone after using expo to sell real estate when Bennett actually wanted to use it to attract manufacturers and tech companies. It really wouldn’t be all that hard to fix our problems we just don’t have anyone running for office who actually wants to. The real problem in BC today is trying to convince someone who actually gives a damn about everyone’s well being and fixing problems to quit their day job and run.

Coincidentally, I was in both those riots (as a wide eyed spectator. "Not" an instigator) & I'm pretty sure I witnessed the first violent act that kicked the whole thing off. It definitely got intense in a hurry. Too bad the Regatta has died off. Kelowna could use that type of event these days. I've said this for a few years now, and I'll say it again; the Okanagan is like the song from The Northern Pikes, "She aint pretty, she just looks that way"

Kelowna is not even a shadow of it's former self. Moving there in the mid-80's, it was a family paradise. Now, because of Mayors Gray, Shepherd and Basran, it is a cesspool. The junkies have taken over the entire valley, you can find a needle on almost any block - even in the country. Plus, by allowing all these developments, skyrises and carriage houses, the population has exploded, bringing with it, big city problems. Greed runs the place now, both by businessmen/developers, and drug dealers, absolutely ruining what was once a paradise on earth. They've taken away all the family fun aspects that made it great - Flintstones and the waterpark there, the Boardwalk roller rink, Malibu racing and arcades, Wild N Wet in WestBank, ... do they still have the go-carts, and the tank rental thing there along the highway? Or is it another golf course for the rich?

Great video! What a terrible shame this great event was canceled due to a few hooligans. It’s just plain wrong to let the bad guys win; everyone else loses. Several great B.C. summer festivals have been lost in this way, not due to lack of popularity, but because local governments didn’t have the spine to stand up to a handful of punks.
