Our Shortlist Is Complete!
After careful consideration, KCSA and it's "Active" members chose a shortlist of candidates. That we believe will be strong advocates for Kelowna residents and provide responsible leadership as our city faces fiscal pressures, provincial challenges, and the demands of rapid growth in our city.
Our goal is to support leaders who listen, act responsibly, protect our community, and put residents first.
Thank you to all candidates and best of luck!
Firstly, no candidates asked for nor did they seek our endorsement!
Questionnaires were sent to all candidates, we have heard and do recognise the fact that many candidates were overwhelmed by the volume of questionnaires they received and the short time line we had given them to respond. Rather than publish incomplete results or rely solely on questionnaire responses, we considered a variety of other sources instead to ensure a fair and balanced assessment.
We have also decided not to publish any questionnaire responses. We want to prevent answers from being taken out of context or used to unfairly target candidates, undermine their campaigns, or gain an advantage over their opponents. Our goal is to support a fair, respectful, and transparent election process.
Fortunately, some KCSA of our members did seek direct conversation with many candidates throughout the campaign. These conversations, combined with Candidates platforms, forums, discussions among our active volunteer group, helped shape our collective assessment.
Our Evaluation Criteria
Candidates were assessed against KCSA’s key priorities:
Fiscal Responsibility: Sound financial policies and responsible spending.
