Kelowna's City Council has established their priorities for their upcoming term, agreeing on six key areas integral in Kelowna life that they wish to improve between 2019 and 2022.
Council has decided that they will focus their attention on:
Community safety, and reducing crime in the city;
Making Kelowna social and inclusive by reducing the homeless population and increasing diversity;
Improving transport and mobility;
Developing residentially, with high-quality site design and affordable housing;
Establishing economic resiliency by reducing the infrastructure deficit and making Kelowna "investment-friendly";
Implementing environmental protection, and adapting to climate change plans.

"As an organization, we work at Council's direction to deliver the best results for residents and enable our community to thrive," said City Manager Doug Gilchrist. "Council has set the direction of the change they want to see and in turn, we as an administration have identified how we will support that shift."
Halfway through the Council's term they will update their goals to reflect progress and respond to changes, challenges, and opportunity presented in the first half of their term.
