Heritage advocate runs for city council

She’s spent years challenging how Kelowna is growing, now Susan Ames wants a seat at the council table.

Ames announced on Facebook that she’ll run for city council in the Oct. 17 municipal election, saying the city needs more balance in its approach to development.

The Abbot Street Heritage Conservation Area Society president also ran for council, unsuccessfully, in 2022.

She said Kelowna needs to slow growth, protect the environment and listen more to residents.
