Realtor among youngest Kelowna council candidates

At 40, realtor Hamid Khajavi is among the youngest of the 37 contenders for Kelowna city council in next month’s local election, but that doesn’t mean he’s a stranger to politics.

On his campaign website Khajavi says he’s passionate about public service and from a young age, helped establish the BC Conservative Kelowna-Mission Constituency Association in 2012. He later served as the party’s Okanagan Regional Director and coordinating its AGM before the 2013 provincial election.

He said good leadership starts with listening, bringing people together, and delivering practical results.

Coming from a construction, development, and real estate background, Khajavi as built his career by solving problems, creating opportunities, building relationships, and investing in the Kelowna community.
