Show Notes
Episode 68: Matt and Taylor are joined by Ron Cannan. Ron is a City Councillor for the City of Kelowna, BC, who in addition to being involved in municipal and provincial politics, was an elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Kelowna-Lake Country from 2006 to 2015. With decades of experience as a public servant, Ron is highly sought after by government officials for his expertise on operations and public policy development. An entrepreneur with a social conscience, Ron is actively self-employed as business consultant with Cannan Consulting Corporation, and is also an independent broker for Interior Savings Credit Union for their commercial division. He has over 30 years of experience helping small businesses thrive in our local community, especially those in the marketing, tourism and wine industries.
Ron is here to discuss:
→ What city council looks like, what is currently taking up most of their time, and the Kelowna OCP, official community plan.
→ The provincial densification plan, approvals, infill zoning, land development, and the influx of immigration.
→ The changing of expectations when it comes to housing and affordability, living more rural, and the stress on Kelowna services and infrastructure.
