A practical voice for Armstrong
Owner of PV BLVD Coffee. Chamber of Commerce director. Candidate for Armstrong City Council.
Kristy McLennan is a local business owner, employer, parent and active community advocate. As the owner of PV BLVD Coffee in downtown Armstrong and a director with the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, she sees firsthand how municipal decisions affect residents, families and local businesses.
For the past two years, Kristy has attended Armstrong Council meetings, read agenda packages and asked questions when clarification was needed. She believes residents deserve clear communication, transparent decision-making and practical solutions grounded in the realities of everyday life.
Kristy is running for Armstrong City Council to bring an informed, independent and community-focused voice to the table. Her priorities include stronger communication, responsible spending, support for local businesses, thoughtful planning and ensuring residents feel heard.
Community and communication—a practical voice for Armstrong.
Where Kristy already serves
Community and communication. Here is what those two words mean in practice.
Taxes in Armstrong are set to rise 24.5 percent between 2025 and 2029. Most of that money is set aside for roads and drainage. That work matters, and I am not against paying for it.
I would like to see the list. Before each increase, council can publish what the money buys that year, street by street. When people can see what they are paying for, the conversation gets easier for everyone.
Armstrong runs on small operators. Farms, shops, trades, and the people who work in them. I have run a small business on Pleasant Valley Boulevard through a full season of construction, so I know what a hard stretch looks like from behind the counter. I talked to the Vernon Morning Star about it in April.
I want council to think about that first. Keep access open during roadwork. Give firm dates. Name one person a business owner can call. Small things like that decide whether a business makes it through a rough year.
Decisions are easier to accept when you saw them coming. I want notice in plain language before council decides, not a notice after.
I also want people to hear what changed because they spoke up. That is the communication half of this campaign, and it is the part I care about most.
Every vote is cast at City Hall. Here are the dates, times, and rules.
