A devoted hockey mom and business owner recently moved in from the Lower Mainland and is an integral part of the Kelowna community.
For the past three decades, Treena Carson-Piva’s career has been in community development, professional fundraising, marketing and administrative management.
A little over a year ago, she and her husband bought a real estate management franchise and moved from the lower mainland to Kelowna to open an office in the Okanagan. In that short time, she has devoted herself fully to building her business and finding her place in the community. She is recognized for her commitment in the BDO “Top 40 Over 40” program.

Carson-Piva attributes her rapidly growing success in part to her accessibility, integrity, and commitment to the community. Within a few months in Okanagan, she was invited to the Kelowna Women in Business Board of Directors as Sponsoring Director and was an active participant in the Kelowna Business and Professional Networking community.

Whether as the leader of a political campaign or as the school president of the PAC, as the founder of a citywide youth initiative program, or as the chair of a large provincial nonprofit organization – she has always drawn to leadership positions and an action-driven environment. She ran for public office, organized fundraising campaigns for community capital projects, chaired numerous boards and committees, and chaired a large provincial event with more than 500 volunteers. Her nature is to get involved, contribute, volunteer, inspire, and do whatever she can to create positive change in her community.
She currently serves on the board of directors of Kelowna Women in Business and is a dedicated hockey wife and ball, hockey, and ribbon mom.
