There is no question that Kelowna and indeed the Okanagan is a better place because of Paul Mitchell’s professional and volunteer activities. A lawyer, he has provided leadership as a President, Trustee, Chair or founding director of organizations that effect athletes, both youth and adult, the disadvantaged, the severely injured, and the business and education communities. From the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, Kelowna General Hospital, Coquihalla Connector Coalition, Brain Trust Canada, United Way, Memorial Cup Society, and Okanagan Innovation Fund to his tenacious advocacy to bring a university to the Okanagan, Paul has influenced the direction of his community and provided a significant legacy for the future.
