BC Conservatives select former RCMP officer to represent West Kelowna-Peachland

The Conservative Party of BC has selected a former RCMP officer as its candidate for the West Kelowna-Peachland riding in the upcoming provincial election.

Macklin McCall spent 19 years as an RCMP officer and has lived in the Okanagan his entire life, including the last 15 years in West Kelowna.

In a post to its site, the Conservative party says it believes Macklin’s long-standing ties to the area and his service with the police force will be an advantage in the upcoming election.

“As a former RCMP officer with 19 years of service, Macklin has closely served the West-Kelowna-Peachland riding,” the Conservative party said in a post to its website.

“His experience in addressing mental health challenges firsthand, particularly in a Police and Crisis Team role, highlights the urgent need for effective solutions in British Columbia. His dedication to preserving children’s innocence and upholding parental rights underscores his commitment to community safety.”
