Kelowna Chamber of Commerce Past President Bruce Dionne (1992) passed away on July 8, 2024. Bruce served on the Chamber Board for five years, and was a Director of the BC Chamber. His term on the Kelowna Chamber Board overlapped that of the late Marion Bremner (1985), the Chamber's first woman President.

Paul Mitchell (Past President 1988) of Pushor Mitchell said, “He was an awesome guy and worked so hard at the Chamber.” Frank Bechard (Past President 1990), also expressed sadness on hearing of Dionne’s death, saying “He was a very nice person.”

Our thoughts are with Bruce's family and friends.

The Kelowna Chamber has a rich history of Board volunteer Past Presidents. We are grateful to each for their dedicated service to the community.
