Danny Turner · Director-elect, RDCK Electoral Area B

About Danny

Rooted in the valley. Built to get things done.

Danny Turner's family goes back three generations in the Creston Valley. He and his wife came home to raise their family here, and for about fifteen years he has grown cherries, blueberries and strawberries at Just A Mere Farm in Erickson.

Before the farm, Danny spent his career building and selling companies and advising businesses in Canada and abroad, and has overseen more than a billion dollars in capital and infrastructure projects. He holds an MBA from Oxford.

Close to home, he has served on the boards of the Pacific Agricultural Certification Society, Fields Forward Society (as Chair) and Organic BC. Today he is a partner with Kootenay Peaks Advisors.

My Vision

A valley our children come home to.

This is how I see our community and our valley, and the work that will make the next generation want to build their lives here.

A local economy

Built around the people who live and work here. Strong farms, strong families, a path for dual and non-farm income, and a plan for the next generation.

Water and land

We can count on. Secure, plentiful and affordable, managed with the next hundred years in mind.

Homes

For our families and our workers. The people who make this valley work should be able to live in it.

A prepared valley

Ready for wildfire and flood. Infrastructure maintained, not gold plated.

Accountable government

Answering to the people it serves, with decisions made by people who live here.

“When a neighbour comes with an idea, the first words they hear: How can we help?”

Area B

A valley the next generation builds their lives in.

We can't wait for someone else to do it for us. We can't wait for the perfect time.

Let's get started today.
