Kelowna business owner enters city council race

Aug 7, 2026 | 9:01 AM

Kelowna business owner Les Bellamy is running for city council in this fall’s municipal election.

Bellamy says his campaign will focus on safer neighbourhoods, affordability, responsible growth and accountability at city hall.

On his campaign website, Bellamy says his more than 30 years in business has prepared him for the role.

“I’ve been accountable for balancing budgets, solving complex problems, and making difficult decisions. I’ll bring that same accountability to City Hall because taxpayers deserve results, not politics,” Bellamy wrote.
