PENTICTON – The latest video offered by Okanagan filmmaker Steve Cogbill highlights his hometown.

Cogbill’s Three minutes in Summerland captures the diversity and beauty of Cogbill’s home.

“It’s such a beautiful place, I wanted to make a video to capture some of its brilliance,” Cogbill says.

Cogbill's film captures the natural beauty surrounding the community as well as it's importance as a fruit growing region and his shots of Summerland's unique steam train evokes images of another era.

The 19-year-old filmmaker also produced Born to Wonder, a video capturing some of the South and Central Okanagan’s most scenic places.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
