Only five Orthodox churches in the entire Okanagan?

OK, so I am not even Christian. I just like icons, candles and incense and the cries of...
Χριστὸς ἀνέστη! Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη!
Христóсъ воскрéсе! Воистину воскресе!
What a difference from GVRD though! This Easter I had a plethora of churches (even Cathedrals) to choose from for Easter service. In one nearby city THREE Romanian Orthodox churches (in a largely Catholic country of origin), Vancouver and Surrey has Ukrainian, Russian, Serbian, Ethiopian. You name it. There is even a congregation of converts in Langley.
Geez, Okanagan seems really 'white bread'. I am not complaining, my knees can't tolerate five hour services. And I feel silly taking a chair intended for the elderly.
