Meet Patrick!
Since moving to Peachland in 2011, Patrick has built his life around this community — long before getting into local politics.
Patrick and his wife Laura moved to Peachland from Belgium in 2011, opening A Day's Dream B&B, Xocolicious and Winelicious Tours, building a life in the community from the ground up. He got involved early — first as a Chamber of Commerce volunteer, then as its General Manager — before being elected Councillor and, in 2022, Mayor.
He holds degrees in Economics and Mathematics and a Bachelor of Accountancy and Taxation, and today runs PVM Consulting, offering financial advice to young families. That same financial discipline is what's guided Peachland's budgeting through four years of economic pressure.
