Colin Basran Mayor, City of Kelowna
“After watching a speech by Ronald Reagan on TV as a kid, I told my parents I wanted to be the first Canadian President of the United States. Years later, I’m proud to have been elected Kelowna’s youngest Mayor in 2014 at the age of 37. Politicians often make decisions for the short term in order to get re-elected.
I feel true leadership means looking beyond my term in office and being able to make decisions that may not always be popular but create a better community for future generations.” kelowna.ca
