What is verified

OneBC’s official Kelowna event page lists Dallas Brodie’s Backbone of BC Tour town hall for Sunday, June 14, 2026, from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M., with RSVP admission and stated topics including the OneBC platform, UNDRIP, defending private and Crown property, and Q&A. As of the June 13 check, the official OneBC page still says “Kelowna, BC. Venue TBA.”

Black Press / PQB News reported June 12 that the event has drawn criticism from the Kelowna Pride Society and that the City of Kelowna said OneBC booked the Apple Room at Parkinson Recreation Centre through the city’s standard rental process. The city’s quoted position is important: renting a room to a group does not mean endorsing that group’s views.

June 14 update: Creston Valley Advance / Black Press Media reported that the Okanagan Nation Alliance also issued a June 12 statement opposing the Kelowna event, while again noting the city’s position that it rents to groups across the political spectrum and that rental approval is not endorsement. The same report says Kelowna Pride Society planned a peaceful protest and that, as of June 13, OneBC was still scheduled to host the town hall.

iNFOnews reported June 11 that Kelowna requires OneBC to pay for its own private security and that, according to the city, OneBC had so far met the terms of the contract. That is the fair-process path supporters should want: clear conditions, safety planning, and equal access.

Why supporters should care

Dallas Brodie’s strongest political model is direct public conversation. She shows up, takes questions, and forces difficult B.C. issues out of closed rooms and into the open: affordability, local decision-making, UNDRIP, private and Crown property, and government accountability.

Kelowna can handle that the right way. Let OneBC supporters attend. Let opponents protest peacefully. Let the city apply its rental and safety policies evenly. Then let citizens listen, object, ask questions, and decide for themselves.

The fair-access standard

• Do not claim endorsement: a municipal rental is access to public space, not approval of a political platform.
• Do require equal rules: if private security or other conditions are required, publish and apply the same standard across political viewpoints.
• Do protect peaceful protest: critics have the right to object publicly without shutting down a lawful town hall.
• Do credit the town-hall model: voters are better served when leaders face citizens directly instead of hiding behind press releases.

No attendance, membership, fundraising, or alliance numbers are claimed here. The verified milestone is narrower and stronger: Kelowna is now a public test of fair municipal access, safety planning, and open political conversation.
