Peachland mayor won‘t seek re-election

Dorothy Brotherton Kelowna Courier March 27

Peachland Mayor Graham Reid will not seek re-election in November. “I‘m making the announcement now to allow adequate time for well-qualified candidates to come forward and for election campaigns to be launched,” Reid said Wednesday. Reid and his wife, Lorna, will be moving to Vancouver Island after his term is complete in December. Government and law have been the pillars of Reid‘s career. He was a lawyer for the City of Vancouver and municipal solicitor for Campbell River. He served as senior vice-president of ICBC, and was chief legal counsel for the province of Alberta.
