Description

Kelowna Tenants for a Healthy Sense of Community.

Hello.

I've worked very hard for several years now on the challenging issues that affect renters in the Kelowna area. In my efforts to create positive change I've realized the importance of making connections with people who share my interest in a positive sense of community. It's weak amongst landlords, government, AND tenants. There is only so much I can do about landlords and government from the outside. So I thought I'd start working on connecting tenants who share this interest and strive to maintain an attitude of care, respect, knowledge, integrity and the will to cooperate with their own needs, other renters, and the broader community. This way, I'll feel I've done what I can, hopefully you will feel better if you decide to join me, and we'll be stronger together. Our voice is remarkably weak.

If you are a person with an interest in this spirit and the renter of a room, apartment, house, or suite in the Kelowna area, then this group is for you. Here you may find support for yourself. You may also find opportunities to help others and the community as a whole.

Greetings,

Garth Thomson
Kelowna, BC
