Sapphire, Western Canada’s leading commercial audio-visual integration companies, has announced its expansion into Kelowna, British Columbia, strengthening its presence across BC and bringing advanced AV solutions to one of Canada’s fastest-growing business markets.
Founded in 2005, Sapphire specializes in the design, installation, and support of high-performance commercial audio visual systems, helping businesses create more engaging spaces through technology. With established operations in Abbotsford, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto and Winnipeg, the company has built a reputation for delivering custom solutions for corporate offices, hospitality venues, event spaces, retail environments, and public institutions.
The move into Kelowna represents a strategic next step as demand grows across the Okanagan for modern AV installation services, boardroom technology, LED video walls, and other integrated AV systems.
Why Kelowna, Why Now?
Kelowna is no longer just a tourism destination. It has become one of British Columbia’s most dynamic regional economies, supported by growth in technology, real estate, healthcare, education, aviation, agriculture, and hospitality. The city is also home to UBC Okanagan, Kelowna General Hospital, Kelowna International Airport (YLW), and a rapidly expanding business community.
Its mix of corporate growth, conference tourism, luxury hospitality, and destination lifestyle makes Kelowna a unique market for experiential technology.
From downtown developments near the waterfront to wineries overlooking Okanagan Lake, Kelowna businesses are investing in spaces that need to look sharp, sound clear, and operate seamlessly.
Supporting Kelowna’s Growing Business Community
“Our mission has always been to help organizations create stronger experiences through technology,” said Ben Burrell, Partner at Sapphire. “Kelowna is a natural fit for us. It’s entrepreneurial, fast-growing, design-conscious, and built around hospitality and connection. We’re excited to support businesses throughout the Okanagan with premium AV systems and dependable local service.”
Sapphire’s Kelowna expansion will focus on supporting organizations that require professional-grade technology systems, including:
Corporate boardroom AV systems
Digital signage for retail and public spaces
Event venue sound and lighting integration
Education and training room technology
Commercial AV maintenance and support
Built for the Okanagan Market
Kelowna’s business environment is different from major metropolitan centres. It blends urban growth with tourism, hospitality, and premium lifestyle branding. That creates a strong need for technology that performs well while enhancing the customer experience.
Whether it’s a winery in West Kelowna, a conference venue near Prospera Place, a luxury development along Lakeshore Road, or a corporate office near Landmark District, businesses need AV systems that feel polished and intuitive.
Kelowna also continues to grow as a meetings and events destination, with more than 110,000 square feet of meeting space and over 4,500 guest rooms citywide.
That demand creates major opportunities for integrated sound, display, streaming, and control systems.
Local Service, Western Canadian Experience
Sapphire’s approach combines national-level expertise with responsive regional support. Clients in Kelowna and throughout the Okanagan can expect hands-on project management, customized system design, clean installations, and long-term support after launch.
