Nikki Csek for Kelowna City Council

Kelowna needs a change agent.

A visionary who turns impossible into possible.
For three decades, Nikki has brought people together, built businesses and community platforms, and turned big ideas into real results for Kelowna.

Nikki Csek

BUILDER. LEADER.
COMMUNITY MAKER.

01 / A CLEARER WAY FORWARD

Kelowna is ready for
what’s next.

As our city grows, we need a Council prepared to look ahead, make timely decisions, and turn good ideas into meaningful progress for the people who call Kelowna home.

Nikki believes in listening carefully, using evidence, and having the confidence to act when the path is clear. It is how we deliver more for residents: focused priorities, less unnecessary delay, and accountability for results.

ROOTED IN KELOWNA

A home built for generations.

For 30 years, Nikki and her family have called the same Kelowna home their own. It is where they raised three children, welcomed a grandchild, opened their doors to five Kelowna Rockets, and cared for both their mothers.

It has been a true generational home, and a daily reminder that the strongest communities are built around family, care, and connection.

02 / A RECORD OF ACTION

Built here.
For here.

CONNECTING KELOWNA

Created WelcomeToKelowna.com, today’s KelownaNow.

It began as a community information portal and became a media platform connecting Kelowna to the stories, people, and issues that matter.

WHEN “NO” WASN’T AN ANSWER

Chaired the Sweetheart Tournament to grow it from 32 to 105 teams.

She secured ice time and helped build one of B.C.’s largest ice tournaments, creating opportunity for young athletes and local families.

LEADERSHIP THAT LASTS

8 years on the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. One term as President. Two terms as Past President.

Trusted to bring different voices to the table and move the business community forward.

FOR LOCAL FAMILIES

Created KelownaSantas.com, bringing new, wrapped gifts to children in need for 14 years.

In its largest year of giving, the program delivered gifts to 1,400 children across the community.

LEVEL UP / 2019

THE LEVEL UP STORY

She brought world-class leadership to Kelowna.

Nikki created the Level Up Leadership Conference, the biggest single-day leadership event Kelowna had ever seen. It brought former Prime Ministers Stephen Harper and Jean Chrétien, alongside internationally recognized leaders, to our city.

It proved that Kelowna can attract big ideas, big voices, and big opportunity. We do not need to leave town to be part of the conversation.

Big ideas belong in Kelowna, too.

“When others see an obstacle, I see a problem we can solve together.”
