Rainbow Vote Kelowna – Candidate Questionnaires

With input from community members we developed a questionnaire for candidates in the upcoming election for mayor, council, and school board trustees. We sent our questionnaires to candidates and asked them to respond to help give 2SLGBTQ+ voters a sense of the candidates’ support for our community. This is not an endorsement by Advocacy Canada for the candidates. We encourage voters to research each candidate (see Voting Information at the bottom of this page) in addition to reviewing their responses to the questionnaire. Our thanks to the candidates who took the time to respond.
