The South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce has prepared Municipal Candidates Guides for Okanagan Falls, Oliver and Osoyoos ahead of the October 17, 2026 general local election.
The guides give residents and local businesses an opportunity to learn more about the candidates and their positions on issues affecting our communities.
READ THE GUIDES BELOW
The Chamber invited mayoral and councillor candidates in each community to respond to ten questions informed by feedback collected through our 2026 Municipal Election Survey.
Participation was voluntary. Candidate responses are presented as submitted, with only minor formatting adjustments made for consistency and readability. Candidates who did not submit responses by the deadline are identified in each guide.
Candidate-provided campaign links have also been included where available.
These guides include candidates seeking election as Mayor or Councillor. Water Councillor candidates are not included.
The South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce is a non-partisan organization. The publication of these guides does not represent an endorsement of any candidate, response or campaign. All views expressed are those of the individual candidates.
