“When I arrived in Kelowna (23 years ago), I wanted to use my background in business to help entrepreneurs access capital, knowledge and markets,” said Douglas.
“And to help create the conditions to encourage economic development in our region. (We) are working very hard during this difficult time to support business and community resilience and recovery.””
