Photo: Jd.101 · CC BY-SA 3.02 MPs share Kelowna, which straddles Kelowna and Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna
72% of Kelowna residents have Stephen Fuhr as their MP; most of the rest have Dan Albas. Kelowna is split between 3 ridings of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Kelowna-Mission, Kelowna Centre and Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream. No open list says who the MLA is today; the last open record is the 2024 count. Kelowna is a city by Statistics Canada’s count of municipalities. Mayors and councillors in British Columbia aren’t on any open list, so Kelowna’s council goes unnamed here.
Three governments, and who does what
Kelowna, a city in British Columbia, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.

Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

elections.ca ↗Every MP lists an office.
ourcommons.ca ↗Ridings, registration and voting dates.
elections.bc.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- Not on this page. Who controls the council by party (the open lists give none, and most Canadian councils sit without parties), budgets and band councils.
- Election results. Ridings changed in 2023: the 2019 and 2021 results are on the old map, and the 2021 vote on today’s map is Elections Canada’s own estimate from polling divisions.
