2026 Municipal Endorsements
North Okanagan Labour Council Announces 2026 Local Government Election Endorsements
Following an extensive application and review process, the Labour Council has endorsed 20 candidates from communities across the Okanagan. See our endorsed candidates below!
Candidates were considered based on their responses to our endorsement questionnaire, their experience and priorities, and their commitment to issues affecting workers, families, public services, and strong local communities.
With advance voting beginning October 7, we encourage voters to learn more about the candidates in their community and, most importantly, make a plan to vote.
