“I’m sad because we have just a good relationship with Ravi, but he has set in motion a lot of changes that I think the new minister, minister (Christine) Boyle will be able to follow up on,” Deputy Mayor for July Dale Bass said. “And in many ways I think we might be dealing with Minister Kahlon in a different way as he works to grow the economy.”

Kamloops will now have to get up to speed with a new minister and Bass believes it should be an easy transition. She also hopes the new minister will continue with the work started by Kahlon on municipal reforms.

“I think she has to because Kamloops is not unique as there are so many municipalities in B.C. that are faced with challenges within their own council membership,” Bass added.

“The issue here is that the Community Charter was written in a calmer time, in a more pleasant time, when people didn’t feel emboldened to just be angry and demanding based on misinformation. So I think it behooves her to continue the work that has been started.”
