Kettle Valley is on the south side of the Kettle River
British Columbia’s official geographical names database places Kettle Valley on the north side of the Kettle River, not the south side.
Full reasoning
The province’s own BC Geographical Names Office entry for the official community of Kettle Valley lists its Relative Location as “N. side of Kettle River”. Because that is the naming authority for the official place record, it directly contradicts the article’s statement that Kettle Valley is on the south side of the river.
A related federal GeoGratis place-name record also identifies the same official community feature as Kettle Valley with data provided by British Columbia, reinforcing that this is the recognized official place entry. The Wikipedia text may be confusing the current distribution of residences south of the river with the officially recorded location of the community itself, but as written, the statement about Kettle Valley being on the south side is inconsistent with the official geographical names record.
