Sharon Shepherd has made it official. Shepherd announced late Thursday night she will seek a third term as Kelowna's mayor. In a news release, Shepherd says her ongoing vision for Kelowna is to have “a safe, healthy and economically vibrant community where all can experience an enhanced quality of life now and into the future.” Shepherd says she feels it is important to pursue being the best mid-sized city in the country and the recently adopted official community plan that looks to 2030, titled “Greening Our Future”, sets the guidelines in achieving that goal. “Kelowna is a leader in sustainability with solar, geothermal, district energy and recycling policies and programs” says Shepherd, “ yet there is still lots to do.” Shepherd also identified new initiatives to consider include a Policing Advisory Coalition and an Alternate Transportation Committee that deals with walking, cycling, and transit needs.(more)
