Philip Akins

I have lived in West Kelowna since 2009 together with my wife, Lisa – a fifth-generation Westbank local – and our two children, Eloïse and Oliver. In 2011 we built West Kelowna’s first (ok, only) straw bale house. I am an enthusiastic runner and novice mountaineer, an overly-enthusiastic coffee drinker, a baker, a reader, and a lover of classical music. I work on our family vineyard and, when the vines can take care of themselves, squirrel away on research publications
