The Okanagan is one of the least diverse areas of Canada, has one of the oldest populations, and has long been considered one the most conservative parts of the province.
But for the past 10 years, Kelowna has consistently been one of Canada's fastest growing cities and that's bringing more diversity. When Colin Basran handily won the 2014 election at age 37, he became both the youngest mayor in Kelowna's history, and the first mayor of non-European descent.
"I love the fact that our community is changing," says Basran. "We have a different community than we had, say, three or four years ago. And I'm so proud of that. But there's still work to be done."
