Spring Tea

Originally known as the Historical Tea, each candidate would present a small speech about a historical topic in Kelowna. Now the event has evolved into the Spring Presentation where a new topic is chosen each year and the candidates give a short, judged speech on the topic. A few from recent years are: Prominent Female Leaders in Kelowna, A weekend in the Okanagan, International Customs and Culture and events in Kelowna.
