Tom Dyas's fully insulting verbal strokery speaks for itself. Dyas moved to British Columbia in 1986 to become a sous chef, becoming executive chef of Delta Hotels while living in Whistler. Dyas first ran for mayor of Kelowna in 2018 against his very good friend Colin Basran. He lost by a 2 to 1 margin, nearly 9,000 votes.
The Denciti steal is the brainchild of Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas.
Dyas appeared on local press November 22 2025 to explain the benefits of the Dencity steal for citizens. There are none, other than Pickleball.
What's missing is his explanation of why he's reneging on his election promise, the one that got him elected over the grossly corrupt Sikh shill Colin Basran. “Residents have told me that they expect their next mayor to fight to save Kelowna Springs, and that’s what I will do,” Here.
Dyas even penned his own bullshit lies for voters, on an abandoned blog. “Leadership is about making difficult choices ..." Here
"July 26, 2022. KELOWNA — Kelowna Mayoral Candidate Tom Dyas has announced that as Mayor he would fight to save Kelowna Springs Golf Course from being turned into warehouses."
After being elected, Dyas increased salaries 35% and punished those who objected. Dyas stole an instant 15% pay hike for himself to over $145k per year. Kelowna Springs rezoning was Colin Basran's pet project, pushed by his Khalistani masters. The steal was reversed unanimously (including Dyas) because citizens revolted overwhelmingly against it, something Tom Dyas forgets in 3 short years.
This citizen received fair warning of the corruption of Tom Dyas and sidekick Mohini Singh with the cops watching their meeting with Gurtaj Singh Sandher on board the new $1m+ Sandher Regal 42 yacht moored at the Kelowna Yacht Club in August 2024.
That open corruption comes home to roost with Tom Dyas now.
Mohini Singh
Dyas currently sits on the RDCO Board as a Director, Chair of the Airport Advisory Committee, Chair of the Mayor’s Task Force on Crime Reduction, Member of the BCUMC, as part of the RDCO board a representative on the Municipal Finance Committee. He sits on the board of Uptown Rutland Business Association and a member of the Audit Committee.

The terms of Dyas and councillors expire next year. Dyas, Singh, and Dehart are beyond redemption. Dehart works for Khalistani heavyweight Gurjit Singh Jhajj and has SAID she will recuse herself from the Kelowna Springs vote, which directly effects property acquired by boss Jhajj adjacent to Kelowna Springs.
Councillor Loyal Woolridge voted with Basran. He was the BC NDP’s losing candidate in Kelowna Centre in 2024. He is a very close Dyas peon.
"The only surprise for me was Loyal Wooldridge escaping the fray. He spent his entire first term sucking up to Basran, supporting and voting with him in lockstep. He was rewarded with, and gleefully took, the chair of the Central Okanagan Regional District." Here.
Former Kelowna mayor Colin Basran was charged with one count of sexual assault in December 2022 stemming from an incident in May while he was still in office. That charge was stayed in June 22, 2023. Among other allegations, Basran rented a mansion of property developer David Negrin, former CEO of Aquilini Investment Group.
Basran denied all conflicts while Negrin had done a great deal of business in Kelowna. Basran refused to disclose how much rent he paid to Negrin. "that’s not anyone’s business.” Some said it was zero. Reporters suggested the $4.5m waterfront home should have rented for $50k per year. Basran earned $110k that year.
White knight for the people of Kelowna for Kelowna Springs has been the well respected Luke Stack.
As usual the devil is in the details. Missed by this space was the FACT the entire Kelowna Springs property was assessed at $5.32 million with it's current zoning. The swapping of 9.1 acres of Industrial Land valued conservatively at $20m for slightly more than half of Kelowna Springs that Denciti can't develop anyway is an OUTRAGEOUS steal. The terms, conditions, and assumptions laid out by the City of Kelowna are preposterous.
The Tom Dyas sweetheart deal with Denciti reeks to absolute high heaven. It is robbery from citizens of Kelowna for the benefit of vested interests.
"November 14, 2025 News Release
A proposed land exchange agreement will protect Kelowna Springs Golf Course while creating new opportunities for economic development. This balanced approach by the City supports recreational amenities, preserves natural areas and supports economic development by creating industrially zoned employment lands.
The agreement involves exchanging approximately 60 acres of Denciti-owned property at 480 Penno Road, known as Kelowna Springs Golf Course, including 9 acres of trails, water features and open space, for 9.1 acres of City-owned industrial land at 3199 Hollywood Road North. Denciti will retain approximately 46 acres of land directly adjacent to the Golf Course, which will be subject to an application for industrial land use.
“This agreement secures Kelowna Springs Golf Course’s future as a distinctive 9-hole course with full-length holes, while preserving natural areas for the community,” said Derek Edstrom, Divisional Director Partnerships and Investments. "Kelowna Springs represents more than just a golf course—it’s a community asset. Our goal is to ensure that its legacy continues to serve residents and visitors alike, carefully balancing community recreation, environmental stewardship, and thoughtful City planning."
The agreement remains subject to several conditions and approvals before the exchange takes effect next Spring, including City Council’s decision on the Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment and rezoning application for the proposed Denciti industrial lands. This proposed exchange and rezoning has the potential to unlock more than 40 acres of industrial and employment lands, with a projected ~$4 million in Development Cost Charges and ~$1 million in additional annual tax revenue, which further supports Kelowna’s economic growth and the City’s commitment to strategic land use and community vibrancy.
As part of the redevelopment of the Kelowna Springs site, Denciti is committed to constructing a new indoor pickleball facility. This facility will enhance recreational opportunities for the community by providing a dedicated space for indoor pickleball enthusiasts. The City is considering options to ensure that the tenure of the new facility is protected for the long term.
Denciti is holding a public information session on November 20, 2025, at Kelowna Springs Golf Course Clubhouse from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Council is expected to consider the OCP and rezoning applications for the retained lands in early 2026, including a public hearing.
Should all conditions be met, the transfer of golf course lands to the City is expected to occur on March 30, 2026, followed by the transfer of City lands on January 1, 2028."
A steal in the tens of millions is underway in Kelowna. City staff is telling reporters that its a done deal and "is expected to be finalized on March 30."
This declaration despite the rezoning requiring a council vote. The Kelowna Springs/Denciti steal is the brainchild of Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas. In 2022 Dyas made an election promise to save the Kelowna Springs golf course, a hugely controversial pet project of the fully corrupt Sikh shill Colin Basran. Capitalists seek a zoning category change to I-2 'General Industrial'.
The city takes control of the 60 acre golf course property (which is unsuitable for development because of aquifers) at 480 Penno Road while transferring 9.1 acres of city-owned industrial land at 3199 Hollywood Road North.
The newly created lot was carved out of a municipal property that will become Kelowna's new bus barns. Conceived in 2021, approval came in 2024 and the land was removed from the ALR. It's a prime commercial location, close to Highway 97 and the University of B.C. ChatGPT tells us that on the low end, 10 acres of commercial land in Kelowna will be worth $20M. Assuming the high end is closer to $30M, the City of Kelowna is returning the entire purchase price of the Kelowna Springs purchase to Denciti. The golf course property was last assessed at $5.32 million.
Denciti retains it’s 46 acres of land adjacent to the golf course which remains subject to an application for industrial land use. The sweetheart Denciti deal clears the way for industrial development on the 9.1 acres it would acquire from the city as well. Why would the City give away lands that it might need for its bus depot expansion? Why did the City buy that land if it was going to then give it away less than a year later?
Perhaps folks should ask bum-like city manager Doug Gilchrist. (dgilchrist@kelowna.ca)
His salary increased from $264K in 2019 to $384K in 2024. Gilchrist’s pay package is just $5k less than the city manager’s salary in Vancouver, a city more than four times the size of Kelowna. “There’s vast differences about the breadth and depth of the services we provide.” he lied.
Stealing from citizens appears a big part of Doug Gilchrist's very expensive services.
Meanwhile, new zoning is coming for major business park development in Lake Country. The Lake Country Business Park, formerly known as the Glenmore Industrial Lands, will encompasses 200 acres stretching south along Glenmore Road and west along Okanagan Centre Road. Conservative estimates suggest there is already in excess of a 50 year supply of industrial land in the Okanagan. There is zero demand for more.
Uber high ethics pollster Joseph Angolano apparently WON'T be disclosing who is paying him for his unbiased services that touts career bumalina Tracy Gray.
This citizen suggests reporters, including Wayne Moore, NOT quote this total bum's 'work' again until he does. Reporter Wayne Moore changed up his material. He now credits the Conservative Electors Association with providing the polling numbers.
Thats NOT what Joseph Angolano says;
"This poll was commissioned by the Pacific Conservative Foundation."
"A new Pallas Data poll shows Conservative momentum is surging in Kelowna’s mayoral race ..."
The 'Conservative Electors Association' is another organization nobody has heard of. Its a municipal political party founded by David Denhoff in late 2025. Leading bumboy is Larry Gray.
The 2 blogs (Conservative Electors Association) and (Pacific Conservative Foundation) are virtually identical, both beg for donations, and both are free blogs on Squarespace.
Question is the same. WHO paid Joseph Angolano? We'll ask David Denhoff next, 'Financial Agent for the Conservative Electors Association.' david.denhoff@gmail.com, daviddenhoff@gmail.com.
Kerry-Lynne Findlay, 71, Chair of 'Conservative Electors Association' Vice-Chair is Elaine Allan
info@conservativeassociation.ca
The Liberals scored a big win in the spring 2025 federal election when Ernie Klassen beat the ass off Conservative incumbent Kerry-Lynne Findlay in the riding of South Surrey―White Rock.
Veteran reporter Wayne Moore of Kelowna's Castanet penned an article "Kelowna mayor Tom Dyas trailing Tracy Gray, Ron Cannan in the polls" Here.
Opening sentence is "According to an organization recruiting candidates to run in municipal elections ..." That alleged organization is The Pacific Conservative Foundation. Never heard of it? Its very possible nobody on this earth has ever heard of it. The website is a one page free blog on squarespace.com.
The impressive poll, extremely favourable for turfed MP Tracy Gray, was produced by hired gun Joseph Angolano. joseph@pallas-data.ca
Smelling a rat we e-mailed him. "Your paymaster was WHO precisely Sir? I read your material and for some reason that isn't spelled out anywhere."
WHY would we instantly be smelling the stench of reeking asshole? Last fall, Larry Gray, Tracy Gray's husband, was nailed cold for starting 3 'independant' news outlets.
‘YOUR LOCAL SOURCE FOR CLEAR, CONNECTED, TRUSTWORTHY NEWS’. It turned out all paths traced back to longtime conservative bag of shit Larry Gray and nobody else. Here Manipulating media is what Larry and Tracy Gray 'do'.
Asshole Joseph Angolano hasn't gotten back to us with an answer. If his response is The Pacific Conservative Foundation, that is the wrong answer.
This citizen very much resents being played for a fukkin fool. Long in tooth reporter Wayne Moore surely has no excuse to be this piss fukkin poor at his job. HE should have determined who the fuk was paying Joseph Angolano, and before word one of this rubbish was published. wayne@castanet.net
In August 2025 it was announced David Denhoff, former deputy director for the B.C. Conservatives, left to work with his new civic organization, Conservative Electors Association. It claims that Conservative mayors and councillors will keep our streets safe, lower taxes and always put families first, with no details about how that will be achieved. David Denhoff said his group was "reaching out" to incumbent mayors and councillors in jurisdictions where it is registered. (info@conservativeassociation.ca) 778-977-4580
One of his associates at the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia was Aisha Estey, President of the BC Conservative Party.
Party headquarters is David Denhoff's 2 bd condo at 206-2832 Capilano Road. North Vancouver, BC V7R 4H5. It changed hands 2 years ago for $779,000. David Denhoff and his Conservative Electors Association 'did' virtually nothing until the December 31, 2025 news release regarding Kelowna's October election for mayor. HERE.
The NR reveals "The Pallas Data survey was conducted using IVR telephone polling among 290 Kelowna adults on December 19–20, 2025." IVR telephone polling uses automated phone systems (Interactive Voice Response) to ask survey questions, letting people respond with their keypad (touch-tone) or voice. There were no human interactions in the polling process.
Despite e-mails to all involved, no response to my question has been received. That question is, who paid Joseph Angolano for his Pallas Data IVR polling?
On December 17, 2025 it was announced that the first Conservative candidate for Kelowna city council had been chosen by Denhoff after a “multi-stage” review and approval process. Who that is still hasn't been revealed. The name was supposed to emerge in early January. One might guess Denhoff has 'selected' Tracy Gray as his candidate for mayor.
It appears before working for the Trial Lawyers Association, David Denhoff was an intern lobbyist for Amazon through a company called Global Public Affairs. As far qualifications, those surely don't jump out for David Denoff.
The material submitted by Denciti is available in it's gory. The capitalists seek a zoning category change to I-2 'General Industrial'. The I-2 'General Industrial' zone in Kelowna is designated for a variety of industrial uses, such as manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution. Here.
By all indicators the industrial market in Kelowna is in a free fall. According to Colliers, leasing conditions have shifted, giving tenants more leverage as vacancies rise and landlords offer more incentives.
Development in Kelowna has stalled, with several projects paused or cancelled, signaling a poor construction outlook into 2026. There is currently little to no demand for the Kelowna Springs project. Here.
