Former Global Okanagan face enters politics.
Rick Weber announced on Facebook Wednesday night that he will run for Kelowna City Council this fall, a decision he said he made with “a lot of excitement and some trepidation.”
“I have changed the name of this Facebook page and plan to use it as the primary social media of the campaign for the next few months,” he added.
Webber retired from Global Okanagan in 2019 after nearly 30 years with CHBC and 43 years in the television industry.
Weber, if successful, would be the third CHBC person elected to the city council in recent years. Mayor Colin Basran worked at the station from 2002 to 2007 before going into real estate, while Coun. Mohini Singh was with the station from 1989 to 2007.
Local government elections in British Columbia take place on October 15.
