On behalf of the City of Penticton, I want to congratulate Helena Konanz on her election as Member of Parliament for Similkameen-South Okanagan–West Kootenay.
Helena has been a dedicated member of Council and strong advocate for our community during her 10 years of service. Her hard work, leadership, and passion for this city have made a real and lasting impact.
We are proud to see a member of our Council take on this important new role at the federal level. We look forward to working with Helena in her new role as MP and wish her every success as she continues to advocate for the region.
I would also like to thank all the candidates who put their names forward in this election. Win or lose, stepping up to represent our community takes courage and dedication.
