We would have to work hand in hand with the major stakeholders in our city to provide more green initiatives. Working with Venture Kamloops would be an ideal start to expand on the programs that they have initiated.

There is a much bigger issue in Kamloops in just attracting any kind of new jobseekers and businesses here. We have to first essentially "open Kamloops for business" and let prospective investors and businesses know that our city is willing to work with new businesses. It has been very difficult for individuals that were attempting to enter our market in the past and we have often been overlooked - many times for Kelowna - for new investments and businesses. Cutting through the red tape of opening new ventures and promoting growth will be a huge priority for our city moving forward, as will fighting nepotism and providing equal opportunities for everyone, whether they're newcomers or have been established in city.
