Kelowna is in crisis - homelessness, opioid epidemic, crime & lack of affordable housing are paramount to creating a safe and sustainable community. We have to prioritize our citizens and it won't be done at a governmental level, it's up to us.
It's time to heal our community!
A trained Mental Health professional for over 15 years, I have been advocating for the vulnerable at risk population; mental illness, homelessness and addiction that are intrinsically linked to our soaring crime rates. As a Kelowna, I have been actively involved in a variety of roles with Crossroads, John Howard Society, NOW Canada, Access Resources, OMHSS, and CMHA. I have grown to understand there are far too many gaps within our broken and ineffective system that require our immediate attention and solutions.
