The City announced in a media release today, Jan. 14, it bought the home at 2302 Abbott St. to support the future expansion of Strathcona Beach Park. The 0.9-acre property was purchased from Kelowna resident Walley Lightbody, who has a history of philanthropy with Kelowna’s hospital and heritage communities. The land was purchased for $5.3 million, which the City said is market value. The Cape-Cod-style home was built on Okanagan Lake in 1939 by Lightbody’s father-in-law, the late Dr. Walter Anderson, the City said. Anderson went on to contribute to the community as a dedicated physician and philanthropist.
