    note: Qualified form of the superlative. Third-party (Accelerate Okanagan) used this exact wording in 2023; census finds no earlier-starting current agency.
summary: With a supported 1993 start and no currently operating Kelowna web agency found with an earlier self-stated start, the qualified statement is supported. Accelerate Okanagan used the same wording independently in 2023.

The defensible version of the [superlative claim](/knowledge/claims/longest-running-kelowna). "One of" tolerates the definitional gaps that the superlative does not.
