Citizens for Responsible Community Planning (CRCP) wishes to announce the creation of a new municipal political party, Action for a Sustainable Kelowna (ASK). ASK has been formed in order to run a slate of candidates dedicated to preserving and promoting the quality of life of Kelowna residents, ensuring and strengthening a lasting social community, and protecting and keeping in harmony with our natural environment. The ASK slate of candidates identifies the rapid rate of population growth that Kelowna is presently experiencing as being a major threat to the aforementioned objectives and proposes a comprehensive growth management strategy to moderate this growth rate while upholding the principles of community benefit, concurrency, equity, participation, productivity, and sustainability.
At present Rick Shea, Andy Thomsen, and John Zeger form the nucleus of ASK and each will be seeking a seat on city council as councillor. ASK is also in discussion with other potential candidates and is optimistic that it will field a full slate of candidates by election time.
A website has been established for ASK at www.sustainablekelowna.org.
